Histogram.
Calculates the histogram of an image.
A histogram is the frequency distribution
of the gray levels with the number of pure black values
displayed on the left and number of pure white values on the right.
size(200, 200);
colorMode(RGB, width);
int[] hist = new int[width];
// Load an image from the data directory
// Load a different image by modifying the comments
PImage a;
a = loadImage("cdi01_g.jpg");
image(a, 0, 0);
// Calculate the histogram
for (int i=0; i<width; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<height; j++) {
hist[int(red(get(i, j)))]++;

}
// Find the largest value in the histogram
float maxval = 0;
for (int i=0; i<width; i++) {

maxval = hist[i];
}
}
// Normalize the histogram to values between 0 and "height"
for (int i=0; i<width; i++) {
hist[i] = int(hist[i]/maxval * height);
