+# Equalize grid based on a linear distribution

+# The :meth:`pygmt.grdhisteq.equalize_grid` method creates a new grid with the
+# z-values representing the position of the original z-values in a given
+# cumulative distribution. By default, it computes the position in a linear
+# distribution. Here, we equalize the grid into nine divisions based on a
+# linear distribution and produce a :class:`pandas.Series` with the z-values

+# Calculate the bins used for data transformation
+# -----------------------------------------------
+# The :meth:`pygmt.grdhisteq.compute_bins` method reports statistics about the
+# grid equalization. Here, we report the bins that would linearly divide the
+# original data into 9 divisions with equal area. In our new grid produced by
+# :meth:`pygmt.grdhisteq.equalize_grid`, all the grid cells with values between
+# ``start`` and ``stop`` of ``bin_id=0`` are assigned the value 0, all grid
+# cells with values between ``start`` and ``stop`` of ``bin_id=1`` are assigned
