    Plots a histogram, and can read data from a file or list, array, or
    dataframe.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : str or list or {table-like}
        Pass in either a file name to an ASCII data table, a Python list, a 2-D
        {table-classes}.
    {projection}
    {region}
    {frame}
    {cmap}
    {fill}
    {pen}
    {panel}
    annotate : bool or str
        [**+b**][**+f**\ *font*][**+o**\ *off*][**+r**].
        Annotate each bar with the count it represents.  Append any of the
        following modifiers: Use **+b** to place the labels beneath the bars
        instead of above; use **+f** to change to another font than the default
        annotation font; use **+o** to change the offset between bar and
        label [6p]; use **+r** to rotate the labels from horizontal to
        vertical.
    barwidth : int or float or str
        *width*\ [**+o**\ *offset*].
        Use an alternative histogram bar width than the default set via
        ``series``, and optionally shift all bars by an *offset*.  Here
        *width* is either an alternative width in data units, or the user may
        append a valid plot dimension unit (**c**\|\ **i**\|\ **p**) for a
        fixed dimension instead. Optionally, all bins may be shifted along the
        axis by *offset*. As for *width*, it may be given in data units of
        plot dimension units by appending the relevant unit.
    center : bool
        Center bin on each value. [Default is left edge].
    distribution : bool or int or float or str
        [*mode*][**+p**\ *pen*].
        Draw the equivalent normal distribution; append desired
        *pen* [Default is 0.25p,black].
        The *mode* selects which central location and scale to use:

        * 0 = mean and standard deviation [Default];
        * 1 = median and L1 scale (1.4826 \* median absolute deviation; MAD);
        * 2 = LMS (least median of squares) mode and scale.
    cumulative : bool or str
        [**r**].
        Draw a cumulative histogram by passing ``True``. Use **r** to display
        a reverse cumulative histogram.
    extreme : str
        **l**\|\ **h**\|\ **b**.
        The modifiers specify the handling of extreme values that fall outside
        the range set by ``series``.  By default these values are ignored.
        Append **b** to let these values be included in the first or last
        bins. To only include extreme values below first bin into the first
        bin, use **l**, and to only include extreme values above the last bin
        into that last bin, use **h**.
    stairs : bool
        Draws a stairs-step diagram which does not include the internal bars
        of the default histogram.
    horizontal : bool
        Plot the histogram using horizontal bars instead of the
        default vertical bars.
    series : int or str or list
        [*min*\ /*max*\ /]\ *inc*\ [**+n**\ ].
        Set the interval for the width of each bar in the histogram.
    histtype : int or str
        [*type*][**+w**].
        Choose between 6 types of histograms:

        * 0 = counts [Default]
        * 1 = frequency_percent
        * 2 = log (1.0 + count)
        * 3 = log (1.0 + frequency_percent)
        * 4 = log10 (1.0 + count)
        * 5 = log10 (1.0 + frequency_percent).

        To use weights provided as a second data column instead of pure counts,
        append **+w**.
