The output can be formatted into a GIF histogram file, or as 38text file - both go to stdout.</para> 39 40<para>If no GIF file is given, gifhisto will try to read a GIF file 41from stdin.</para> 42 43</refsect1> 44<refsect1><title>Options</title> 45 46<variablelist> 47<varlistentry> 48<term>-v</term> 49<listitem> 50<para>Verbose mode (show progress).

Lines are in increasing color index order. This output can be fed directly to a sort program if ordering by color frequency is desired.</para> 57<para>The colormap picked is the one to be used for the image to 58generate histogram for, as defined in GIF format.</para> 59</listitem> 60</varlistentry> 61<varlistentry> 62<term>-s width height</term> 63<listitem> 64<para>Size of GIF histogram file. The height of the histogram should be power of 2 dividable by number of colors in colormap.</para> 65<para>Width sets the resolution (accuracy if you like) of the histogram as 66the maximum histogram bar is scaled to fit it.</para> 67</listitem> 68</varlistentry> 69<varlistentry> 70<term>-n image-number</term> 71<listitem> 72<para>Image number to test.
