    draw histogram from datafile

    Hey all!
    looking for a quick and dirty way to draw an histogram based on a bunch of numerical values (say in a file). something like:

    Code:
    $ cat my_datafile | drawhistogram --interval 0.5 --output my_histogram.svg # made up obviously
    I don't expect that simple but the closer the better! if it could remain command-line, that'd be really nice
    Thanks!!
