This is a fair (but somewhat complicated programmed) wrapper for:
[n,x] = hist(data,num) ;
stairs(x,n,varargin{:})

btw your example specifies only one bin ...

Adding a H1 line and some more help (just "copy" from HIST!) will improve this submission.

Thanks. That's a much more efficient way of doing it. I've uploaded a new version with your suggestions included.

Jos - rather this bellow will be better...
[n,x] = hist(tau_rms_gen) ;
stairs([x(1)-(x(2)-x(1))/2 x-(x(2)-x(1))/2 x(length(x))+(x(2)-x(1))/2],[0 n 0])
