Graphing an image - what is the 'brightness' of the pixels along a line in an image.
Displayed as a simple graph.

On startup requests you to find an image file (in jpeg, png or gif format) on your system and displays the image.

Press the left-mouse at the start pixel and drag to the end pixel for your graph.  The graph will show variation of brightness and R,G,B colour along the displayed line.
