/// This tutorial demonstrates how the highlight mechanism can be used on an histogram.
/// A 2D histogram is booked an filled with a random gaussian distribution.
/// Then an highlight method is connected to the histogram. Moving the mouse
/// on the histogram will update the histogram title in real time according to
/// the highlighted bin.
