Histograms are displaying incorrectly.

[Ryan Ackerman]

The dataset I used was (9.4, 5.4, 6.6, 5.4, 6, 9.4, 8.9, 10, 9, 15, 12, 7.2, 7, 9, 8.1). In the histogram, it displays several entries as high as 25, though no number in my dataset was close. I was able to have the histogram display properly by changing any one number to a 1.

I originally imported this dataset from Google Spreadsheets, but re-entered it by hand into SOFA with no effect. I generated a second random dataset of numbers between 0 and 10 (rounded to tenths), imported it into SOFA and found that again, the histograms were displaying higher numbers than existed in the dataset.

The error occurs at the point where the decimal place value is set and bin sizes are rounded.

Thanks Ryan for bringing this to my attention. I've separated the decimal point calculation into its own function and added a unit test to it. a new release is due out within about a week.

Thanks very much for your hard work! I've been really enjoying using this
in my classroom so far this year.
