Description

I have a use case that I think is pretty common: I want to visualize the categorical probabilities output by a softmax in the form of a histogram.

I.e. I have a vector [0.0 0.5 0.3 0.2] and I want each of those values to specify the height of a bin in a histogram.

Currently there is no way to do this, but I think this is perhaps the most standard modus operandi when preparing data for plotting in a histogram.

Research direction

The issue describes rendering categorical probability vectors such as [0.0, 0.5, 0.3, 0.2] as histogram bin heights, but names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate the histogram visualization input path and determine how non-histogram summary data should be represented; done when such vectors render correctly and the behavior is covered by tests.
