Hi, is it possible to flip a histogram around the peak value? I do not want to flip the axis. Just for performing some checks, I want to invert my distribution from negative skewness to positive skewness, keeping the mean value at its original value. any help is appreciated.

Hi!
It should be doing the following (considering that a is your input)
[counts,center]=hist(a);
bar(center,counts);
hold on
center_mirror=flip(center);
bar(center_mirror,counts);
This should plot the histogram and the mirrored histogram.
If you want to force it to rotate around the peak (conservation of the mode of the distribution):
[counts,center]=hist(a);
bar(center,counts);
hold on
[~,idx]=max(counts);
center_mirror=2*center(idx)-center;
bar(center_mirror,counts);
I hope it answers your question!

The cryptic idx should have been called something more explicit and descriptive, like "indexOfMax". Basically it's the first index (bin number) where the max value (mode) of the histogram appears. Does that explain it better.
