added a quote of a valuable Nick Cox comment
Mar 20, 2016 at 14:51 comment added user46925 The fundamental issue is that histograms heavily rely on the bin size. It is difficult to determine this a priori.

Jul 12, 2013 at 0:45 comment added Glen_b @AJMansfield This is a bit like saying "every distribution is discrete" - while literally true, it obscures the relevant issue. A typical number of bins in a binned estimator is vastly smaller than a typical number of pixels... and with any graphics that make use of anti-aliasing, the 'effective' number of pixels is larger (in that it's potentially possible to distinguish differences of positions between pixels)
Jul 11, 2013 at 19:13 comment added AJMansfield Practically every graph of necessity bins data like this. The bins are just small enough (the width of one pixel along the axis) that it doesn't matter?
