I have a matrix and I would like to plot the square of its element.

n = 10;
H = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}];;
MatrixForm@H
H1=H*H;
Histogram[H1[[1]]]

Histogram Plot

First row is H1[[1]]

{0.977106, 0.720555, 0.230498, 0.432439, 0.180738, 0.0134593, \
0.592225, 0.0321264, 0.587188, 0.333721}

I got this, I wanted these values to be along $y$ and there position in columns to be along $x$. I saw this How can I transpose $x$ and $y$ axis on a Plot?. But this unnecessary complicated to just switch them and also it is for a function and I have list data. Is there any simple way to do that.

NOTE

Values along $X $ $->$ Like probabilities and $Y $ $->$ Locations (like 1st site, 2nd site, and so on). Want to see the plot otherway.

  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba I would like to maintain the plot on top of X-axes only values to be switched. Even values also get switched, so no change as such. $\endgroup$ – L.K. Oct 6 '16 at 9:03
  • $\begingroup$ Your question still isn't clear. It sounds like maybe you just want a default-style histogram of your data sorted the other way? In that case use Transpose. $\endgroup$ – dionys Oct 6 '16 at 9:36
  • $\begingroup$ @dionys Please tell me if anything is unclear, I will try to clear it(but editing my question). Transpose will not work.I have tried. See the edited, if it works $\endgroup$ – L.K. Oct 6 '16 at 9:41

  • $\begingroup$ Good One, this solves my problem. But I would like to do this for each row(one histogram plot for each row, as above), to convey my problem I showed you one row. Do I need to change h1 everytime? Or I can make h1 a matrix and change the row ? $\endgroup$ – L.K. Oct 6 '16 at 10:25
  • $\begingroup$ Just use Part to select the appropriate row from your H1 (squared matrix data) and plot it with RectangleChart. $\endgroup$ – dionys Oct 6 '16 at 10:28
  • $\begingroup$ +1 .But for large $n$ isn't it a problem. Writing everytime new row or can we make a loop, which will select the row automatically and histogram plot for that? $\endgroup$ – L.K. Oct 6 '16 at 10:32
  • $\begingroup$ Read the help docs for Map and Part carefully. You can apply Part and generate the plots for all rows by mapping a function over your squared data. You could do it in a loop as well, but it's messier and less efficient. Also, read the help for Table before you resort to procedural for-loops. $\endgroup$ – dionys Oct 6 '16 at 10:42
