+**What it does**
+
+Creates a stacked-histogram graph for the nucleotide distribution in the Solexa library.
+
+.. class:: infomark
+
+**TIP:** Use the **FASTQ Statistics** tool to generate the report file needed for this tool.
+

+
+**Output Examples**
+
+The following chart clearly shows the barcode used at the 5'-end of the library: **GATCT**
+
+.. image:: ./static/fastx_icons/fastq_nucleotides_distribution_1.png
+ 
+In the following chart, one can almost 'read' the most abundant sequence by looking at the dominant values: **TGATA TCGTA TTGAT GACTG AA...**
+
+.. image:: ./static/fastx_icons/fastq_nucleotides_distribution_2.png
+
+The following chart shows a growing number of unknown (N) nucleotides towards later cycles (which might indicate a sequencing problem):

+.. image:: ./static/fastx_icons/fastq_nucleotides_distribution_3.png
+
+But most of the time, the chart will look rather random:
