Using the Histogram Dialog

To show the byte/character distribution of a file, open the histogram dialog. The histogram gives you a certain view on the file. For example, a non-equal distribution of bytes indicates that the file could be compressed well. If you work on an encrypted file, the histogram may give you a hint about weaknesses in the encryption (perfect encryption means to have totally random bytes).
