[Gdal-dev] statistics of a band

[Amlacher Katrin]

Hi,

many file formats supports storing the statistic of a band. For my work 
it is important to read and write such statistic (inclusive mean and 
stdev ). I have seen, that HFA can read the statistic, but I couldn't 
find an interface to get the data.

Are there any interfaces for reading and writing statistical data (other 
than minimum and maximum) planned for gdal?

What is the best way to read and write statistical data at the moment?


Thanks for your help
