Capability

alias of RasterInterfaceCapability

bandCount(self) → int[source]

Gets number of bands

Return type:

int

bandStatistics(self, bandNo: int, stats: int, extent: QgsRectangle = QgsRectangle(), sampleSize: int = 0, feedback: QgsRasterBlockFeedback | None = None) → QgsRasterBandStats[source]

Returns the band statistics.

Parameters:

  • bandNo (int) – The band (number).
