Help for ASCHIST
PURPOSE:
ASCHIST will create a tabular histogram file from byte or halfword data.
EXECUTION:
ASCHIST in table user-parameters
OPERATION:
ASCHIST collects a histogram of the input file and outputs it as a
tab-delimitted ASCII file of two columns. The first column is the DN
value, and the second is the population of that level. Column headings
are optional. If the input file's VICAR label contains the PICSCALE
keyword (i.e., the image has been PICSUM'd), input image will be divided
by the PICSCALE value (the number of images summed) prior to the generation
of the histogram.
RESTRICTIONS:
The input image must not exceed 60000 samples per line.
