Learning OpenCV and having trouble understanding some code

[faraz_k86]

Hi,

Im learning openCV and am following the official documentation. I am at the histogram calculation and was having no trouble understanding the code until the time came to plot the calculated histogram.

The tutorial I am talking about is here: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/imgproc/histograms/histogram_calculation/histogram_calculation.html

and the section that confuses me is this one:


/// Draw for each channel
for( int i = 1; i < histSize; i++ )
{
line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(b_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,
Point( bin_w*(i), hist_h - cvRound(b_hist.at<float>(i)) ),
Scalar( 255, 0, 0), 2, 8, 0 );
line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(g_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,
Point( bin_w*(i), hist_h - cvRound(g_hist.at<float>(i)) ),
Scalar( 0, 255, 0), 2, 8, 0 );
line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(r_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,
Point( bin_w*(i), hist_h - cvRound(r_hist.at<float>(i)) ),
Scalar( 0, 0, 255), 2, 8, 0 );
}

i know the line function and the arguments taken by it, the thing I dont get is the values given to its point 1 and point 2.

Can some one please explain to me what is happening in the line function at point 1 and point 2.

Thank you
