Drawing Histogram in OpenCV-Python

Hi Friends,

Do you want to draw a histogram for an image as below?

See the histogram for above image for RGB channels.

The code:

import cv2
import numpy as np

img = cv2.imread('zzzyj.jpg')
h = np.zeros((300,256,3))

bins = np.arange(256).reshape(256,1)
color = [ (255,0,0),(0,255,0),(0,0,255) ]
for ch, col in enumerate(color):
    hist_item = cv2.calcHist([img],[ch],None,[256],[0,256])
    cv2.normalize(hist_item,hist_item,0,255,cv2.NORM_MINMAX)
    hist=np.int32(np.around(hist_item))
    pts = np.column_stack((bins,hist))
    cv2.polylines(h,[pts],False,col)

h=np.flipud(h)

cv2.imshow('colorhist',h)
cv2.waitKey(0)

You can see the same code written using numpy functions on histogram here  : Drawing histogram in OpenCV- Python.

Don't forget to send your comments, doubts etc.
