histogram of event data-CodePudding

I have the following data:

    start_time               end_time         duration       ic_total             mc_total

in a dataframe.

How can I produce a plot with bars whose width are defined by the duration column, and height by the ic_total value?, and whos position on the x axis is defined by the start and end time?

Sounds like a step function plot to me, for which you can use
