For compatibility purposes, when invoked in TF2 where the outermost context is
eager mode, this API will check if there is a suitable TF2 summary writer
context available, and if so will forward this call to that writer instead. A
"suitable" writer context means that the writer is set as the default writer,
and there is an associated non-empty value for step (see
tf.summary.SummaryWriter.as_default, tf.summary.experimental.set_step or
alternatively tf.compat.v1.train.create_global_step). For the forwarded
call, the arguments here will be passed to the TF2 implementation of
tf.summary.histogram, and the return value will be an empty bytestring
tensor, to avoid duplicate summary writing. This forwarding is best-effort and
not all arguments will be preserved.
Optional positive int specifying
the histogram bucket number.

Please use tf.name_scope instead
to manage summary name prefix.

description
Optional long-form str description
for the summary. Markdown is supported.
Defaults to empty.
Description
Adding a histogram summary makes it possible to visualize your data's
distribution in TensorBoard. You can see a detailed explanation of the
TensorBoard histogram dashboard
here.
The generated
Summary
has one summary value containing a histogram for values.
This op reports an InvalidArgument error if any value is not finite.
Args
name
A name for the generated node. Will also serve as a series name in
TensorBoard.
values
A real numeric Tensor. Any shape. Values to use to
build the histogram.
collections
Optional list of graph collections keys. The new summary op is
added to these collections. Defaults to [GraphKeys.SUMMARIES].
family
Optional; if provided, used as the prefix of the summary tag name,
which controls the tab name used for display on Tensorboard.
Returns
A scalar Tensor of type string. The serialized Summary protocol
buffer.
