How do I calculate percentage or frequency and display it on a bar plot?

5 views (last 30 days)
Hello I have an excel file with 48 land types and a image.tif of a country, and I want to calculate the Frequency (how many times each land type of the excel appear on the tif.iamge), and also the percentage of Frequency which is: Percentage=(Frequency/Total Frequency)*100.
I have calculated the frequency but does anyone know how to calculate the rate?? I tried
total = sum(frequency);
rate=(frequency/total):100;
It gives me results 48 times, as many times as my land types. How do I correct that?
Also I have to make a bar plot for the percentage results using colorbar.
Any ideas?

Because you have the typo
rate=(frequency/total):100;
instead of
rate=(frequency/total)*100;

It's not really possible to help debug plotting code that you don't show us. Can you upload the files needed for us to reproduce the error you are seeing?

I also notice you keep saying "colorbar". If you are really trying to use the colorbar command to make a chart, you should be using bar instead.

Use histogram with 'probability' as the value for the 'Normalization' option.
