<p>This document introduces you to the Histogram API of the Ecam component. </p>

<section><title>Purpose</title> <p>This document shows you the detailed description

of tutorial and how to work with it. </p> </section>

<section><title>Introduction</title> <p>A Histogram is a graph that gives

the information about the exposure of the captured frame. It gives details

about the distribution of light on a picture. </p> <p>The histogram explains

which portions of the frame are over-exposed or under-exposed and helps you

to adjust the captured frame accordingly. </p> <p>You can display the histogram

information directly on a viewfinder or analyze it using any analysis software. </p> <p><b>Setup and Configuration Requirements</b> </p> <p>The following examples

assume a camera object exists. </p> <p>The code in this tutorial

can be found in <filepath>…\os\mm\imagingandcamerafws\cameraunittest\src\ECamUnitTestPlugin\extended_functionality.cpp</filepath>. </p> </section>

<section><title>Using Histogram </title> <p>The histograms can be created

for: </p> <ul>
