Hi There,
New to Matlab so sorry if the question is simple!
I have plotted a histogram with the following code:
data = csvread('testformatlab.csv')
col1 = data(:,8); %all rows in column 1
col2 = data(:,14);
X = (col1)./(col2);
histogram(X);
*I would like to overlay a curve to the histogram, similar to the red one in the attached image. My current histogram is shown in the blue image.
Thankyou!!!

If you already have the curve, then just type hold on and plot it. An example:
ydata = randn(1000,1);
hist(ydata)
hold on
x = min(ydata):0.1:max(ydata);
y = 500*normpdf(x);
plot(x,y,'r')
