Detailed Description

Utility class for calculating aggregates for a field (or expression) over the features from a vector layer.

It is recommended that QgsVectorLayer::aggregate() is used rather then directly using this class, as the QgsVectorLayer method can handle delegating aggregate calculation to a data provider for remote calculation.

Since
QGIS 2.16

Member Enumeration Documentation

Available aggregates to calculate.

Not all aggregates are available for all field types.

Enumerator
Count 

Count.

CountDistinct 

Number of distinct values.

CountMissing 

Number of missing (null) values.

Min 

Min of values.

Max 

Max of values.

Sum 

Sum of values.

Mean 

Mean of values (numeric fields only)

Median 

Median of values (numeric fields only)

StDev 

Standard deviation of values (numeric fields only)

StDevSample 

Sample standard deviation of values (numeric fields only)

Range 

Range of values (max - min) (numeric and datetime fields only)

Minority 

Minority of values (numeric fields only)

Majority 

Majority of values (numeric fields only)

FirstQuartile 

First quartile (numeric fields only)

ThirdQuartile 

Third quartile (numeric fields only)

InterQuartileRange 

Inter quartile range (IQR) (numeric fields only)

StringMinimumLength 

Minimum length of string (string fields only)

StringMaximumLength
