#!/usr/bin/env python

''' This is a sample for histogram plotting for RGB images and grayscale images for better understanding of colour distribution

Benefit : Learn how to draw histogram of images
          Get familier with cv2.calcHist, cv2.equalizeHist,cv2.normalize and some drawing functions

Level : Beginner or Intermediate

Functions : 1) hist_curve : returns histogram of an image drawn as curves
            2) hist_lines : return histogram of an image drawn as bins ( only for grayscale images )

Usage : python hist.py <image_file>
