title: How to see distribution of data if data range is very big
body: <p>I want to see distribution of my data. I want to use histograms with <code>Matplotlib</code> but the problem is that my data has very big range, it kinds look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_data = [1,2,3,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,1,2,4,2,3,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,3,3,2,1,1,3,2,2,2,5,6,5,6,7,8,6,5,4,3,2,4,1,4,5,3,1,3,5,7,4,5635,2,4,5,5,2,2,5,1,1,2,3,5,3,3462,6,6,7,5,4,3,4,5,3,2,1,3,7855]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Only problem is that i have more than 5000 elements that are in range 0-6, and a couple of elements that are bigger than 1000.</p>
  
  <p>How can I see distribution of my data so that I can now if I can remove some data from it. If I plot histogram, i can only see one or two bars that shows data from 0-6 but i cant see bars that are showing data that are bigger than 1000 because there is not a lot of them.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
  plt.hist(my_data, bins = 15)
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
