PR Summary
Currently the one string that can be set in the rcParams is "auto". However there are a number of other strings that can be passed to the
bins
argument ofhist
. I think those should also be allowed to be set in the rcParams.Also note in the docs one of the allowed strings
'sturges'
was repeated. I've removed the repeat.Apologies if I have made any process mistakes - this is my first PR to matplotlib. I also didn't get tests running locally but if they fail here I will do that and fix any issues.
