darktable histogram is not the same as gimp

Software darktable

Hi everyone
The histogram is displayed as I would expect in gimp but not in DarkTable. As I’m processing astro-photos, the discrepancy is annoying.
Is there any way I can get the histograms the same, independent of app?
Cheers,
Steve

If you use the rightmost button directly above the histogram in GIMP then you can get logarithmic counts like darktable is giving you.

Thanks for your reply.

I would like it to be the other way around. I would like the same histogram in gimp to be displatyed in DarkTable.
Can i get DarkTable to display the linear histogram instead?
TIA

There should be a button on the DT histogram that you can click that’ll toggle through the various display modes.
