[Qgis-developer] QgsRasterLayer::bandStatistics

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi

While fixing the raster issues (in a branch), I'm trying to clean out 
the raster layer class. Especially, I'm trying to remove symbology 
related elements from the raster layer (like mRedBandName etc.) and have 
the symbology only in the renderers .

Now I'm not sure what to do with the band statistics. QgsRasterLayer 
stores and caches QgsRasterBandStats. However I see in the gdal provider 
that GDAL caches the statistics as well. So my question is if it is ok 
to remove the statistics related members in QgsRasterLayer and go 
directly to the raster providers. Or is there a reason to have it on 
layer level that I missed?

Regards,
Marco
