Created for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18809020/accessing-properties-of-objects-in-d3-histogram-bins

This chart shows a histogram of an Irwin–Hall distribution. The data is randomly generated. The values are then binned at regular intervals using D3’s histogram layout. The x-axis uses a linear scale, such that the tick values appear between bars; this provides better indication that each bar represents the count of values between its surrounding tick values.

See also this histogram of a log-normal distribution of time durations.
