How do I plot the histogram of a set of data values in terms of percentage of cumulative frequency? Something like, I want the range to be from 0 to 100%, not from 0 to total number of data.
I am not sure if I made myself understood. Please do ask for details if you need any.

a=rand(100,1);
a(a>=0.7)=1;
a(a<=0.2)=2;
a(a<0.7 & a>0.2)=3;
figure(1);n=hist(a(:),0:5);
percent=n/sum(n);
figure(2);bar(0:5,percent);

Warning: the logic used above will fail if there are no values to be histogrammed. sum(n) would be 0 and you would get 0/0 . Be safe, program defensively!
