Change the units in the Y axis of an histogram

Dear colleagues, i have an ascii table formed by 3 columns: the first and the second are the X and Y coordinates (in UTM or meter scale) and a third column that is the height, as you note this ascii table in fact is a raster.

OK I'm trying to create an histogram only for the third column (the height) and i already do it but i not what i want to plot.

I know that maybe is a very stupid question. My problem is, the output histogram indicates in the Y axis the number of pixels (the number of elements) and i need to create an histogram with the area (surface) instead of number of pixels. The pixel size is 10 (meters) how can i do it to change the units in the Y axis of the histogram????

This is the formula that i wrote in matlab (PNW is the ascii table name) but only plots the number of pixels:

PNW(:,3)=Z1; %height 10m/pixel
PNW(:,2)=Y1;
PNW(:,1)=X1;
PNW(isnan(PNW(:,3)),:)=[];%eliminate NaN's

nimP=numel(PNW(:,1)); %number of elements in G

figure(1)
hist (PNW(:,3),(sqrt(nimP))); % this hist produces a pixel number histogram

This is an example of my ascii table :

Do you mean the pixel size is 10 square meters? If so, just multiply the counts by 10 before you plot it:

counts = hist(PNW(:,3),(sqrt(nimP)));
bar(counts*10, 'BarWidth', 1);

it works
