Hi Andy,

the rebinning option is ancient. From the documentation:

================================================================
--------------------
Rebin=<nbins>
--------------------
Rebin the histogram. Starting with the lowest bin <nbins> bins are
combined into a new bin. If the number of bins in the histogram is not a
multiple of <nbins>, the remaining bins at the upper histogram end are
silently ignored (i.e. if the original histogram has 10 bins and <nbins>
is 3, the plotted histogram shows three bins combining the bins 1--9 of
the original histogram).

--------------------
EnvelopeRebin=<nbins>
--------------------
Rebin an envelope histogram where the error bars represent an envelope.
Thus, they are combined linearly instead of as sum of squares. The
functionality is the same as 'Rebin' otherwise.
================================================================

Errors are treated as purely statistical and independent.

Cheers,

    Hendrik
