NAME

d.histogram - Displays a histogram in the form of a pie or bar chart for a user-specified raster map.

KEYWORDS

display, histogram, statistics

SYNOPSIS

d.histogram
d.histogram --help
d.histogram [-nc] map=name [style=string] [color=name] [bgcolor=name] [nsteps=integer] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:


Display information for null cells

Report for ranges defined in cats file (fp maps only)

Print usage summary

Verbose module output

Quiet module output

Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:


Raster map for which histogram will be displayed

Indicate if a pie or bar chart is desired
Options: pie, bar
Default: bar

Color for text and axes
Either a standard color name or R:G:B triplet
Default: black

Background color
Either a standard color name, R:G:B triplet, or "none"
Default: white

Number of steps to divide the data range into (fp maps only)
Default: 255

DESCRIPTION

d.histogram displays the category-value distribution for a user-specified raster map layer, in the form of a bar chart or a pie chart. The display will be displayed in the active display frame on the graphics monitor, using the colors in the raster map layer’s color table. The program determines the raster map’s category value distribution by counting cells.

NOTES

d.histogram respects the current geographic region settings and the current MASK (if one exists).

d.histogram uses the colors in the map’s color look-up table (i.e., the map’s colr or colr2 file).

EXAMPLES

Running the command below will generate the bar graph shown in the figure:

g.region raster=elevation -p
d.mon wx0
d.histogram map=elevation

Figure: Bar graph histogram for elevation map

Running the command below will generate the pie graph shown in the figure:

g.region raster=landuse96_28m -p
d.histogram map=landuse96_28m style=pie

Figure: Pie graph histogram for landuse map
