Analyzing a histogram in Matlab

I have a histogram with the horizontal values ranging from (0-255), and the vertical values ranging from (0-200), which represents the time of occurence of value in the horizontal axis. Sinze I have a kind of large range on the horizontal axis (0-255), it is sometimes not clear which value is repeated how many times. Is there a way in Matlab to view this more clear? Such that for example I can obtain a list as follows:

0 ---> 5

1 ---> 7

2 ---> 3

Where 5, 7, and 3 represent the time of occurence.

Thanks.

Instead of having hist() display the answer, assign it to a variable:

[counts, centers] = hist(....);

then the bin centered around centers(K) occurred counts(K) times.
