The feature is available in both Jupyter notebooks and Python scripts, with both pandas and Polars supported.

Data distribution histograms in tables

A data distribution histograms is an essential tool in data analysis, providing a visual snapshot of data distribution, as well as aiding in pattern recognition, outlier detection, and data quality assessment. In DataSpell, you can now easily access these histograms directly within your tables.
