HISTOCOMP(1)

💖 HISTOCOMP(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, which is exactly the vibe you'd expect — somebody's beloved little Perl script that the community just kept around because it works. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

histocomp.pl — plot multiple histograms on one graph 🌸

like. MULTIPLE. histograms. ONE graph. she's an overachiever, we love her.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

histocomp.pl <input1> [input2 ...]

you feed her one input, bare minimum, and then as many extra inputs as your chaotic heart desires. no cap. 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

so the whole point of this icon is: plot a couple histograms on one graph. that's the mission statement. that's the moment. ✨

Other options:

• --log — applies log scale to x, y, or xy axes. you literally just tell her which axis (or both!) needs to go logarithmic and she handles it. 🧚
• --lwd — lets you specify the line weight. thick lines, thin lines, whatever line energy you're serving today. 🔥
• --format — lets you specify the output file format, and it defaults to png. so if you say nothing, you get png. that's the default, no surprises. 👑
• --pdf — sets the format to pdf. that's it, that's the whole job. a little shortcut so nobody has to type out --format pdf like a peasant. 💜
• --output — lets you specify a different output file. and if you don't? it's autonamed from the inputs, which honestly is giving main character energy — she names her own files, we respect it. 🌈

ngl bestie, that's the whole manual. short, sweet, does exactly what it says. it's giving minimalism. it's giving focus. periodt. 💖
