Fascinating. I had followed the hyperlink in the help file to the  
help on -marker_label_options-, which makes no mention of - 
yvarformat-, without noticing that in the main help for -histogram-  
it states that more options than are normally accepted by - 
marker_label_options- are available, including the reference to - 
yvarformat-.

Perhaps, since -histogram- clearly has its own armamentarium of  
marker label options, they might be worth documenting in one place.
