Description

To allow for much larger data sets, it would be nice if the array_like argument could accept a generator. This would require the "data structure" for the plot to be a "histogram" (a collection of bins, and for each bin a count/frequency) and probably an additional parameter indicating the sample size (which indicates the bin resolution).

Research direction

Start at the array_like argument in the plotting entry point and trace how its data structure is consumed. Investigate the proposed histogram representation and sample-size parameter for generator inputs. Done means larger datasets can be plotted from a generator with defined bin resolution and frequency handling.
