=head1 NAME

Graphics::Magick::ColorHistogram - Calculate color frequency with optional quantization

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Graphics::Magick::ColorHistogram 'histogram';

  # calculate frequency of color in an image
  $counts = histogram("image.png"); # { aa77ff => 60, ... }

  # quantize image first then count
  $counts = histogram("image.jpg", 2); # at most two colors

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item histogram($filename, [$max_colors])

This routine counts the number of times each present color appears in an image.
Optionally, a number of colors can be given and the image data will first be
quantized to have no more than that many colors in it.

The return value is a hashref which maps hex RGB triplets to counts.
