This video shows what it is by hand drawing a histogram. Basicall it is a bar graph. We have values from 0 (complete black) to 255 (complete white). The height of each small bar represents the number of pixels of the same gray level. If the histogram is moved to the left side, it means there are more dark tones in the image. If it is moved to the right side, there are more light tones.
