2D histogram and/or 2D Kernel Density

I have two series of data (of type double). I want to create a 2D histogram plot and a 2D kernel density estimate plot. Please help. Below is my coding

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

curs1 = exec(conn, 'select sp_x, sp_y from road_part6_trajectories_oneway2_new_segments_cartesian2');

format long;

curs1 = fetch(curs1);

AA = curs1.Data;

x = [AA{:,1}]';

y = [AA{:,2}]';

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Pls let me know how to create a 2D histogram from x and y (both of type double)

Are you sure you don't mean you want a 3-d histogram of a bivariate random variable, x and y? A histogram of one random variable is a 2-D histogram.

See hist3

load carbig
X = [MPG,Weight];
hist3(X,[7 7]);
xlabel('MPG'); ylabel('Weight');
set(gcf,'renderer','opengl');
set(get(gca,'child'),'FaceColor','interp','CDataMode',...
'auto');

[Devinya Herath]

of course you are correct. I got the thing done by using hist3. By the way do you have any idea of generating the kernel density?
