This function plots a histogram of the total intensity inside every cell in a population. Note, the background has to be subtracted before detecting the signal in MicrobeTracker.

• <cellList> is an array that contains the meshes. You can drag and drop the file with the data into MATLAB workspace or open it using MATLAB Import Tool. The default name of the variable is cellList, but it can be renamed.

• <cellList1>, <cellList2> - you can load two arrays, they will be plotted together for comparison.

• <signal1>, <signal2> - the signal field which will be processed. Must be in single quotes and must start from the word 'signal'. The default is 'signal1'.

• <xarray> - array of x values for the histogram, which serve the the centers of bins of the histogram (the boundaries will be in between, for example [1 2 3 4 5] to display all the cells with the intensity less than 1.5 units in the first bin, between 1.5 and 2.5 units in the second, etc.).

• <img2int>, <img2int1>, <img2int2> - conversion factors from image units. Use only if normalization is known.

• 'overlap' - indicates this if you wish the histograms to overlap, otherwise they will be displayed separately.

• <intlist>, <intlist1>, <intlist2> - arrays containing the length of every cell to save and plot separately.

• <nooutput> blocks standard text output (type of data processed, mean, and standard deviation; only a figure is displayed).

• <nooutput> blocks figure output (only text output is produced).
