%'hist_update': update of a current global histogram by inclusion of a new field
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
%[val,HIST]=hist_update(val,HIST,C,dC)
%
% OUTPUT:
% val: vector of field values at which the histogram is determined (middle of bins)
% HIST(:,icolor): nbre of occurence of the field value in the bins whose middle is given by val
%           can be a column vector, same size as val, or a matrix with three columns, for color images
%
% INPUT:
% val: existing field values from the current histogram, =[] if there is no current histogram
% HIST(:,icolor): current histogram,  =[] if there is none
%       can be a column vector (icolor=1), same size as val, or a matrix with three columns, for color images      
% C(:,icolor): vector representing the current field values
%       can be a column vector (icolor=1), or a matrix with three columns, for color images 
% dC: width of the new bins extending val to account for the new field.
