Analyze distributions with histograms and heatmaps

[liammclennan]

A graphical view of the distribution of numbers can help show where most values are clustered and the presence of any high or low outliers. The standard visualization for distributions is the histogram, and the heatmap to view distributions over time (or any other dimension). Each column in a heatmap is equivalent to a histogram.

Add a 'Plot distribution' option to numeric properties to generate a historgram. A histogram can be generated for any query result with two columns if the second column is numeric. Read more about historgrams.

Add a 'Plot distribution over time' option to numeric properties to generate a heatmap. A heatmap can be generated for any query result with three columns if the third column is numeric. Read more about heatmaps.
