There are 4 possible histograms in the histogram viewer. The red, green, blue histograms show the input histograms for red, green, blue and multiply them by an input transfer to get the output red, green, blue. Then the output red, green, blue is scaled by an output transfer. The scaled red, green, blue is converted into a value and plotted on the value histogram. The value histogram thus changes depending on the settings for red, green, blue. The value transfers are applied uniformly to R, G, B after their color transfers are applied. Mathematically, it is said that the values of $x$ are linked to the values of $y$ by a transfer function. This function, by default, is represented by a line that leaves the values of $x$ and $y$ unchanged, but we can intervene by modifying this line with the cursors or the textboxes.
