Re: pdfxy

Hi Marston,

When you call the function, there is the option to specify the number of x
and y bins:

        function pdfxy (
                x : numeric,
                y : numeric,
                nbinx [1] : integer,
                nbiny [1] : integer,
                opt [1] : logical
        )

Because you know your max and min values for x and y, just specify the
number of bins accordingly to get the bin space you need. So you would
specify nbinx = 60 and nbiny = 23.

Hope this helps,

Julia
