data = Flatten[Import["speedtest1B.csv"]];
distrib = HistogramDistribution[data];
histogram = Histogram[data, ChartStyle -> {Blue}];
Export["speedtest1B.pdf", 
    Overlay[{ 
    Histogram[
        data, 
        ChartStyle -> {Blue},
        ImageSize -> {500,500},
        AxesLabel -> {"start-up time [ms]", "number of samples"}
        ],
    DiscretePlot[
        CDF[distrib, x], 
        {x, 0, Max[data]},
        ImageSize -> {500,500},
        Axes -> False
        ]
        }
    ]
];

From the above I get:

I would like the plots to be properly aligned. Displaying the CDF x-axis on the right side of the plot would be a big plus. Also I don't realy get color-theaming so could someone please explain how to easily change the color od CDF to red.

  • $\begingroup$ Inside Overlay should be {...}, but you don't even need Overlay, use Show - see my answer. $\endgroup$ – Vitaliy Kaurov Jan 30 '13 at 4:39

$\begingroup$ 
 data = 1000 RandomVariate[GammaDistribution[3, .5], 10^4];
 distrib = HistogramDistribution[data];
 Overlay[{DiscretePlot[CDF[distrib, x], {x, 0, Max[data]},
  ImageSize -> {600, 400}, Frame -> {{False, True}, {False, False}},
  FrameTicks -> {{None, Range[0.1, 1, .1]}, {None, None}},
  ImagePadding -> {{50, 100}, {15, 25}}],
 Histogram[data, ChartStyle -> Opacity[.5, Blue],
  ImageSize -> {600, 400}, ImagePadding -> {{50, 100}, {15, 25}},
  AxesLabel -> {Style["start-up time [ms]", 12],
     Style["number of samples", 12]}]},
  Alignment -> Center]

  • $\begingroup$ awesome! thank you! Any idea how to label the axes? Simple AxesLabel doesnt really work. $\endgroup$ – JohnnyM Jan 30 '13 at 5:55
  • $\begingroup$ @JohnnyM, please see the update. (You need to adjust the values for the ImagePadding option to see the axes labels.) $\endgroup$ – kglr Jan 30 '13 at 6:12
  • $\begingroup$ thanks! maybe you could help with my other question: mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/18733/… I think it is quite basic. $\endgroup$ – JohnnyM Jan 30 '13 at 6:16
