;       Graphics
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;      HistoPlot, dataToHistogram
;
; ARGUMENTS:
;
;       dataToHistogram:  The data from which the histogram is created.
;
; INPUT KEYWORDS:
;
;       ADDCMD:           Set this keyword to add the command to an FSC_Window
;                         command list. Setting this keyword automatically sets
;                         the WINDOW keyword.
;                         
;       AXISCOLORNAME:    The name of the axis color. Default: "Black". (All color names
;                         derived from cgCOLOR.)
;
;       BACKCOLORNAME:    The name of the background color. Default: "White".
;
;       BINSIZE:          The binsize of the histogram. By default, Scott's Choice of
;                         bin size for histograms is used:
;                         
;                            binsize = (3.5 * StdDev(data)) / N_Elements(data)^(0.3333)
;                            
;                         If BINSIZE in not defined, and NBINS is defined, the BINSIZE is
;                         calcuated as:
;                         
;                             binsize = (Max(dataToHistogram) - Min(dataToHistogram)) / (NBINS -1)
;                             
;       CHARSIZE:         The character size. Default set by calling cgDefCharSize().
;
;       DATACOLORNAME:    The name of the data color for drawing the histogram outlines.
;                         Default: "Indian Red".
;
;       FILE:             The name of a color name file to use with cgCOLOR.
;
;       FILLPOLYGON:      Set this keyword to fill the histogram polygons. If this keyword
;                         is set, the following keyword can also be used.
;
;                         POLYCOLOR:    The name, or vector of names, of polygon colors.
;                                       If a vector, the names are cycled though, as needed.
;                                       Defaults to 'ROSE'.
;
;       FREQUENCY:        If this keyword is set, the relative frequency is plotted on the Y axis,
;                         rather than the histogram density.
;                         
;       L64:              If set, the return value of HISTOGRAM are 64-bit integers, rather than
;                         the default 32-bit integers.
;
;       LAYOUT:           This keyword specifies a grid with a graphics window and determines 
;                         where the graphic should appear. The syntax of LAYOUT is a 3-element 
;                         array: [ncolumns, nrows, location]. The grid is determined by the 
;                         number of columns (ncolumns) by the number of rows (nrows). The location 
;                         of the graphic is determined by the third number. The grid numbering 
;                         starts in the upper left (1) and goes sequentually by column and then
;                         by row.
;               
;       LINE_FILL:        If set, the polygons are filled with lines instead of solid color. If
;                         this keyword is set, the following keywords can also be used.
;
;                         ORIENTATION:  The orientation of the lines in line-filled polygons in degrees.
;                         PATTERN:      Set to rectangular array of pixel giving fill pattern.
;                         POLYCOLOR:    The name, or vector of names, of line colors.
;                                       If a vector, the names are cycled though, as needed.
;                         SPACING:      The spacing, in centimeters, between parallel lines.
;
;       MAXINPUT:         The maximum value to use in calculating input histogram. Equivalent to MAX keyword
;                         in HISTOGRAM documentation.
;
;       MAX_VALUE:        The maximum Y data value to represent on graphics plot. Default: Max(histdataToPlot) * 1.05
;
;       MININPUT:         The minimum value to use in calculating input histogram. Equivalent to MIN keyword
;                         in HISTOGRAM documentation.
;
;       MIN_VALUE:        The minimum Y data value to represent on graphics plot. Default: 0.
;
;       MISSING:          The value that should be represented as "missing" and not used in the histogram.
;                         Be aware that if the input data is not of type "float" or "double" that the input
;                         data will be converted to floating point prior to calculating the histogram.
;       
;       NAN:              If set, ignore NAN values in calculating and plotting histogram.
;
;       NBINS:            The number of output bins in the histogram. Meaning is slightly different from
;                         meaning in the HISTOGRAM command. Used only to calculate BINSIZE when BINSIZE is
;                         not specified. In this case, binsize = rangeofData/(nbins-1).
;
;       OPROBABILITY:     Set this keyword if you want to overplot the cumulative probability on the plot.
;       
;       OPLOT:            Set this keyword if you want to overplot data on already established axes.
;       
;       OUTLINE:          Set this keyword if you wish to draw only the outline of the histogram plot,
;                         in a manner similar to setting PSYM=10 on a PLOT command.
;                         
;       PROBCOLORNAME:    The name of the probability color for overplotting the cumulative probability
;                         on the plot.  Default: "Blue".
;       
;       THICK:            Set this keyword to a value greater than 1 to draw thicker axes and lines.
;       
;       WINDOW:           Set this keyword to display the plot in a resizeable cgWindow program.
;
;       The user may also enter any other keywords suitable for the PLOT and POLYFILL commands in IDL.
;
; OUTPUT KEYWORDS:
;
;       HISTDATA:         The output value of the internal HISTOGRAM command.
;
;       LOCATIONS:        Starting locations of each bin. (See HISTOGRAM documentation.)
;
;       OMAX:             The maximum output value used to construct the histogram. (See HISTOGRAM documentation.)
;
;       OMIN:             The minimum output value used to construct the histogram. (See HISTOGRAM documentation.)
;       
;       PROBABILITY:      The total cummulative probability of the histogram plot, scaled from 0 to 1.
;
;       REVERSE_INDICES:  List of reverse indices. (See HISTOGRAM documentation.)

;
; REQUIRES:
;
;     Requires at least these programs from the Coyote Library:
;
;        http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/convert_to_type.pro
;        http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/error_message.pro
;        http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/cgcolor.pro
;        
; NOTE:
; 
;       While it is pointed out in the HISTOGRAM documentation, it is extremely
;       important that the BINSIZE be of the same data type as the data you are going to
;       calculate the histogram of. If it is not VERY strange things can happen. I've
;       tried to protect you from most of the bad things, but I don't have a high confidence
;       level that I have done it for every situation. If you see something that "just don't
;       look right", I would check first to see if your data types match. That might solve
;       all the problems. :-)

; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
;
;       Written by:  David W. Fanning, 14 November 2007.
;       Modified to work with !P.MULTI. 20 Nov 2007. DWF.
;       Slight problem with extra space at the right end of the plot resolved. 20 Nov 2007. DWF.
;       Added FILE and NOLINES keywords. 24 Nov 2007. DWF.
;       Added additional HISTOGRAM access via keywords. 24 Nov 2007. DWF.
;       Fixed a small problem with FILLPOLY keyword. 26 Nov 2007. DWF.
;       Fixed a small problem with the OVERPLOTTED histogram being slightly offset. 12 Jan 2009. DWF
;       Major reconstructive surgery on the actual drawing part of the program. As far as I can
;          tell, all functionality is the same, but without drawing problems evidenced before. 14 March 2009. DWF.
;       A small problem with the way I was specifying ranges caused the bars to be slightly offset. 23 March 2009. DWF.
;       I fixed a small problem with BINSIZE and HISTOGRAM data type matching (see the Note), and I also
;          fixed a small problem with the range calculations when byte data is passed in. 1 April 2009. DWF.
;       I removed a NOLINES keyword, which was no longer being used. 1 April 2009. DWF.
;       MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE keywords now work again, thanks to Josiah Schwab. 22 April 2009. DWF.
;       Changed default POLYFILL color to "ROSE". 22 April 2009. DWF.
;       Having problems with binsize selection when data to histogram is an integer type. Fixed. 8 June 2009. DWF.
;       When the input array has a considerable number of NANs, the Histogram command complains with an error
;           "Array has too many elements." This happens even when the NAN keyword is set for the Histogram
;           command. So, I now screen for NANs before I process the histogram. 8 June 2009. DWF.
;       Added MISSING keyword to represent missing data. 18 July 2009. DWF.
;       Adding the MISSING keyword exposed a problem I had in restoring the original input data
;           to its original values when there were NANs and MISSING values. Fixed now by making
;           a copy of the data to work on internally. Everything else is too complex. 20 July 2009. DWF.
;       Yikes! Bad error in calculating start and end of histogram plot when overplotting fixed. 4 Sept 2009. DWF.
;       Added needed XSTYLE=1 to AXIS command to match Plot axis labelling. 19 Oct 2009. DWF.
;       Added a THICK keyword. 9 November 2009. DWF.
;       Added an OUTLINE keyword so only the outline of the histogram is plotted. 3 December 2009. DWF.
;       I was trying to be a good citizen by reloading the input color table when I exited
;            the program. But, of course, that makes it impossible to use the program in
;            the Z-buffer. Fixed by being less of a good citizen. 23 July 2010. DWF.
;       Because of the way I was dealing with NANs and MISSING data, the reverse indices were
;            inaccurate when they were returned, if there was NANs or MISSING data in the
;            input array. The data is now being handled correctly in all cases. This requires
;            that missing data must be set to !VALUES.F_NAN prior to calculating the histogram.
;            This means the data MUST be converted to floats for this operation. Since I am
;            always working on a *copy* of the data when this occurs, it should not affect
;            user input data. Also, I scan all input floating point and double data for NANs,
;            and if found, and the NAN keyword is not set, I issue a warning and set the NAN
;            keyword. This is a change in behavior. 1 October 2010. DWF.
;       Fixed a problem when specifying more than one POLYCOLOR. I made a change to the program
;            and forgot to propogate it everywhere. 4 October 2010. DWF.
;       Default axis color name changed from "Navy" to "Black". 28 October 2010. DWF.
;       Fixed a problem with restoring color tables in PostScript. 24 Nov 2010. DWF.
;       Added OPROBABILITY, PROBCOLOR, and PROBABILITY keywords. 24 Nov 2010. DWF.
;       Changed the way I find a default axis color. 3 Dec 2010. DWF.
;       Expanded search for "integers" from in BINSIZE calculation from DataType LE 3 
;             to include DataType GE 12, too. 8 Dec 2010. DWF.
;       Added WINDOW keyword. 24 Jan 2011. DWF.
