Class
    Foam::functionObjects::histogram
 
Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Computes the volume-weighted histogram of an input \c volScalarField.
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type              | Location
      input          | volScalarField    | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
      output file    | dat  | $FOAM_CASE/postProcessing/<FO>/<time>/<file>
      output field   | -                 | -
    \endtable
 
    The set written contains two columns, the first the volume averaged values,
    the second the raw bin count.
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    histogram1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        histogram;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Mandatory (inherited) entries (runtime modifiable)
        field       p;
        nBins       100;
        setFormat   gnuplot;
 
        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        max         5;
        min        -5;
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: histogram               | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
      field        | Name of operand field              | word |  yes  | -
      nBins        | Number of histogram bins           | label | yes  | -
      setFormat    | Output format                      | word |  yes  | -
      max          | Maximum value sampled       | scalar | no  | fieldMax
      min          | minimum value sampled       | scalar | no  | 0.0
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link writeFile.H \endlink
 
    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.
 
Note
    If \c max is not provided it will use the field's min and max as the bin
    extremes. If \c max is provided but not \c min it will use 0.
