how to use the EJSS histogram for counting of a value say theta for Rutherford angle of deflection?

Dear Prof Paco,

i am able to use the histogram in JavaScript flavor using the input as variable i defined as "theta". i am surprised that the y axis is counting the time value of theta, meaning if theta = 0.5 for t = 3.0 to 4.8 s, the histogram draws theta = 0.5 with a bin and the height of that bin is t = 1.8 s the duration of the value of which theta is at.

how do i make EJSS count it as a single value N =1?

the code didn't work //_view.histogram.append(theta);

attached is my source code example of Rutherford experiment, an original idea for a EJSS that i just created yesterday.

thank you very much for making EJSS my number one choice modeling tool!

oh, i managed to solved it by introducing a histogramcounter for the active state of the histogram.

but now there a default value theta=0, N=1, at the beginning of the simulation, which i speculate is a bug in ejss?

please advise how to remove it?

thanks!
