 How difficult would it be to implement this in the wx version ? I agree
 that this is a very nice feature, even though more generally I prefer the
 new tool for its interactivity, but also, for example for the capacity to
 show several histograms at once.

 Yes. That is an important point. Would it be possible to isolate the wx
 version as a g.gui.histogram tool and then allow directly drawing the
 results without interaction (i.e. with GRASS_RENDER_IMMEDIATE=TRUE) ?

 As long as #2558, please do not remove d.histogram. It's been the only way
 to do histograms for me for quite a while...
