I have a list of prices for condos.
Instead of having an x-axis with an typical increment of $25K I'd like to
have a scale that reflects the number of condos that have a particular
price.
For instance if most of the condos are between 200K and 400K I might have a
scale like:
<=100K 200K 225K 250K 275k >=300K
How could I compute a scale like this? Thanks.

that the number and size of the resulting groups suit your purposes.

Thanks. Math is some powerful stuff.

Another approach that might be useful -- depending on the distribution
of the data set and what you're doing with it -- is to base the size of
the bins on a function of difference from the mean, perhaps a
logarithmic one.
