Yep, histogramm, that's the word for it... Well, I don't use picture 
software every day, just from time to time, so I simply wasn't sure if 
this histogram works exactly the same way any other (like in The Gimp) 
does. (And I didn't remember the values, too...)

In your link, there is an example screenshot. You can see a grayscale 
below the histogram. I consider that a great help for not-so-frequent 
users. Another indication like "%" or so with an arrow for the Y axis 
would complete that. Maybe one could switch this on and off (for power 
users not to be annoyed by something so obvious ;) ).

Just my 2 cents

Rolf
