specifying bin increments on a histogram

Question

Hello,

I use the code below to create a plots like this with different data sets. I want all plots to have the same scale, i.e. 0 to 90 and -2 to +2.

Not all data sets have data values at the extreme ends of the scales around 80-90 or 1.8-2 for example.

For example if the data in data set only ranges from 0-75 does the code divide the data up into bin intervals of 75/90 or does it create bins in 1 mph increments so bins 76-90 would have no data?

My question is, how can you specify that you want 90 bins a 1 mph increments and you want 40 bins at 0.1 increments from -2 to +2?

load Data;
% Calculate histogram
nBinsX = 120;
nBinsY = 40;
hist3(Data,[nBinsX,nBinsY]);
% Plot histogram
set(gcf,'renderer','opengl');
s = get(gca,'child');
zData = get(s,'zData');
colormap gray;
set(s,...
  'zData'     ,zData/length(Data),... % normalize frequency
  'FaceColor' ,'interp',...
  'EdgeColor' ,0.3*[1 1 1],...        % make edges visible at all heights
  'CDataMode' ,'auto');               % color tops according to height
