## Produce histogram counts or plots.
##
## With one vector input argument, @var{y}, plot a histogram of the values
## with 10 bins.  The range of the histogram bins is determined by the
## range of the data.  With one matrix input argument, @var{y}, plot a
## histogram where each bin contains a bar per input column.
##
## Given a second vector argument, @var{x}, use that as the centers of
## the bins, with the width of the bins determined from the adjacent
## values in the vector.
##
## If scalar, the second argument, @var{nbins}, defines the number of bins.
##
## If a third argument is provided, the histogram is normalized such that
## the sum of the bars is equal to @var{norm}.
##
## Extreme values are lumped into the first and last bins.
##
## The histogram's appearance may be modified by specifying property/value
## pairs.  For example the face and edge color may be modified.
##
## @example
## @group
## hist (randn (1, 100), 25, "facecolor", "r", "edgecolor", "b");
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## The histogram's colors also depend upon the current colormap.
##
## @example
## @group
## hist (rand (10, 3));
## colormap (summer ());
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## With two output arguments, produce the values @var{nn} (numbers of elements)
## and @var{xx} (bin centers) such that @code{bar (@var{xx}, @var{nn})} will
## plot the histogram.
