Plate.ImageHistogram (read-only, Variant)

Intensity histogram for the image (4096 Long elements)

Syntax

Plate.ImageHistogram

The property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
Value (Variant)	Intensity histogram for the image (4096 Long elements)

Remarks

This returns a copy of the intensity histogram for the image. The histogram is divided into 4096 "bins", each of which contains the count of image pixels which fall into the corresponding intensity range. The histogram is useful for intensity-scaling of images for display.

While PinPoint can attach images in a variety of pixel and image formats including 1-shot color, its internal image storage format is monochrome 16-bit unsigned integer. Monochrome (1-plane) images are scaled to the range 0-65535. Color images are converted on attaching to monochrome 16-bit color. Thus the ImageHistogram property always returns bin values between 0 and 65535.
