 ### **get_output_distribution**
 
+Get the number of transaction outputs per-block for given cleartext amounts (0 meaning RingCT) within a specified range.
 
+If the distribution is "cumulative", then each value in the array represents the number of transaction outputs in that block plus all total outputs of that amount before that block.
 
 Alias: *None*.
 
 Inputs:
 
-* *amounts* - array of unsigned int; amounts to look for
+* *amounts* - array of unsigned int; cleartext amounts to look for (0 gets all RingCT outputs)
 * *cumulative* - boolean; (optional, default is `false`) States if the result should be cumulative (`true`) or not (`false`)
-* *from_height* - unsigned int; (optional, default is 0) starting height to check from
-* *to_height* - unsigned int; (optional, default is 0) ending height to check up to
+* *from_height* - unsigned int; (optional, default is 0) Starting height to check from, inclusive
+* *to_height* - unsigned int; (optional, default is 0) Ending height to check up to, inclusive. Set to 0 to get entire chain after *from_height*
 
 Outputs:
 
 * *distributions* - array of structure distribution as follows:
   * *amount* - unsigned int
-  * *base* - unsigned int
+  * *base* - unsigned int; The total number of outputs of *amount* in the chain before, not including, the block at *start_height*
   * *distribution* - array of unsigned int
-  * *start_height* - unsigned int
+  * *start_height* - unsigned int; Note that this is not necessarily equal to *from_height*, especially for *amount*=`0` where *start_height* will be no less than the height of the v4 hardfork
 * *status* - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.
