     NAME
          histogram - draw a histogram

     SYNOPSIS
          histogram [ -h ] [ -c index ] [ -r minx,miny,maxx,maxy ] [
          -s scale ] [ -t title ] [ -v maxv ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Histogram reads numbers, one per line, from its standard
          input and draws them as bars in a histogram.

          Use -c to set the color index for the graph.  A modulus
          operation on the value keeps the color index within the
          available range.

          Unless -h (hold) is given, histogram will exit when it
          reaches the end-of-file.  It will exit immediately if it is
          interrupted or if the exit menu option is chosen.

          -r sets the initial window rectangle coordinates.

          -s sets the scaling factor.

          -t sets the title displayed on a line above the histogram.
          The last value read is displayed to the right of the title.

          -v sets the maximum value that can be expected.

     EXAMPLE
          Plot a sine wave:

               hoc -e 'for(i=0.0;i<20*PI;i=i+0.1) print (10+10*sin(i)), "\n"'|
                    histogram -t 'sin(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ 20π' -v 20 -h
