## Produce histogram counts of image @var{I}.
##
## The second argument can either be @var{n}, a scalar that specifies the number
## of bins; or @var{cmap}, a colormap in which case @var{X} is expected to be
## an indexed image. If not specified, @var{n} defauls to 2 for binary images,
## and 256 for grayscale images.
##
## If output is requested, @var{counts} is the number of counts for each bin and
## @var{x} is a range for the bins so that @code{stem (@var{x}, @var{counts})} will
## show the histogram.
##
## @emph{Note:} specially high peaks that may prevent an overview of the histogram
## may not be displayed.  To avoid this, use @code{axis "auto y"} after the call
## to @code{imhist}.
