ISIS Application Documentation
Generates a histogram table of cube in text format
Description
This program reads a single band from a cube and creates a tabular
representation of the histogram. If a band specification is not
given for the input file then the program will default to using the
first band. The output results can then be viewed in a graphical
form by using your favorite spreadsheet (e.g., Excel) or other
graphing package (e.g., IDL, GNU plotutils).

Updated logic such that min/max values are no longer calculated from .cub
if values are provided by the user. Fixes #3881.
|
| Kaitlyn Lee | 2020-06-11 |
Added "Pixels Below Min" and "Pixels Above Max" to the CSV output and changed how the data is
outputted. Originally, the CSV output and the GUI histogram would use the DN value in the
middle of a bin to represent that bin. That is, the CSV output used to have a "DN" value that
was the bin's middle pixel DN. This was not intuitive to users. Removed the "DN" value and added "MinInclusive" and "MaxExclusive" to the CSV so that bins are represented by their min/max values. These changes were also reflected in the histrogram creation. The x-axis is now based off of the min value of a bin instead of the middle value. These changes were made alongside changes made to Histogram and cnethist.

| Kristin Berry | 2020-06-25 |
Re-added the ability to set number of bins without setting min/max values after the last update.
