python画不同颜色的直方图,使用matplotlib绘制图像颜色直方图

I am trying to generate a color histogram of an image. I am using PIL for reading image files and trying to plot the same through matplotlib.

im = Image.open(sys.argv[1])

w, h = im.size

colors = im.getcolors(w*h) #Returns a list [(pixel_count, (R, G, B))]

Update: After some trial and error this code plots the histogram, but not the colors! (Takes laboriously long consumes ton loads of memory even for a 320x480 jpeg)

for idx, c in enumerate(colors):

plt.bar(idx, c[0], color=hexencode(c[1]))

plt.show()

Where,

def hexencode(rgb):

return '#%02x%02x%02x' % rgb

On execution, the program begins to consume infinite memory and no display is provided. OS memory usage went from < 380 MB to > 2.5 GB in matter of couple of minutes; post which I terminated the execution. How can I get solve the problem?

Here is an example of a color histogram of image with dominant Red shades:

I tired your update code and it worked fine. Here is exactly what I am trying:

import PIL

from PIL import Image

from matplotl
