%% An example of a simple plot (uncomment to run) {{{
%% I want to plot the number of expedition over time. 
%% First I'll convert the string for the date of reaching the base camp to a datetime 
%basecamp_date = datetime(expeditions.basecamp_date, 'InputFormat', 'yyyy-MM-dd');

%%then I'll plot these dates as a frequency histogram.
%histogram(basecamp_date);
%title('Number of expeditions leaving base camp')
%xlabel('year')
%ylabel('number of expeditions')

%%easy!
