     *
     * \details
     * This is a QT-based graphical sink the displays a histogram of
     * the data.
     *
     * This histogram allows you to set and change at runtime the
     * number of points to plot at once and the number of bins in the
     * histogram. Both x and y-axis have their own auto-scaling
     * behavior. By default, auto-scaling the y-axis is turned on and
     * continuously updates the y-axis max value based on the
     * currently plotted histogram.
     *
     * The x-axis auto-scaling function only updates once when
     * clicked. This resets the x-axis to the current range of minimum
     * and maximum values represented in the histogram. It resets any
     * values currently displayed because the location and width of
     * the bins may have changed.
     *
     * The histogram also has an accumulate function that simply
     * accumulates the data between calls to work. When accumulate is
     * activated, the y-axis autoscaling is turned on by default as
     * the values will quickly grow in the this direction.
