normal dist. requires 2 parameters. mean and variance (or standard
deviation). can't just use the peak. If you have the data itself (the sample
from which you got the histogram from) then you can easily estimate these
from the sample data.
If you just have the plot itself, then you can find the mean (where the peak
is), for variance, find the area around the mean which is about 68% of total
area, this gives you 2 standard deviations as measured on the x-axis under
this area. But I am no expert on this so I could be off here.
(there is a statistic newgroup group btw).

If you have the statistics toolbox, there is also a histfit() function which provides density fits for a number of distributions.
