hist2d - Compute 2-D histogram
"hist2d" computes creates a 2-dimensional histogram from
two bands from two different files or from the same file.
The histogram is created in the form of an ISIS cube file
with the horizontal axis representing the DN values in the
first band and the vertical axis representing the DN values
of the second band.  The axes on the range from 0-255.  The
histogram data is smoothed using two 7x7 smoothing filters,
then it is scaled so that the values range from 0-100.
The percent of data used to tabulate the histograms is indicated
with the parameters, MINPER and MAXPER or alternately the absolute
min/max of the data can be input with MIN and MAX.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

ParmDescription
FROM
Input cube file name.  If the file extension is omitted,
then ".cub" will be assumed.
FROM2
Second input cube file name.  This file contains the band
which will be plotted in the y-axis if the bands are not
contained within one file.
TO
File containing the 8-bit representation of the 2-D histogram.
XBAND
This is the band number to be used for the x axis.  This band
will be taken from the file indicated in FROM.
YBAND
This is the band number to be used for the y axis.  This band
can be in the file indicated with FROM, or it may be located
in a second file indicated with FROM2.
MINPER
The percent of data in the low end which will not be tabulated
in the histogram.
MAXPER
The percent of data in the high end which will not be tabulated
in the histogram.
MIN
The MIN parameter can be used to set a specific minimum value
instead of calculating a minimum value using the MINPER.
MAX
The MAX parameter can be used to set a specific maximum value
instead of calculating a maximum value using the MAXPER.
