I'm not sure I have a good use for it, either. I like to use
two colors of very similar hue, just to make it easier to
distinguish the individual values of the histogram. I can see
how it doesn't make any sense. That's why it's an optional
keyword. ;-)

No.

As soon as things start getting as complicated as this,
I bow out. I like to think of the programs on my web page
as places to *start*, not necessarily as places to end up,
although a few of those programs have acquired that status
over the years.
Cheers,
