bandStatistics(self, bandNo: int, stats: int, extent: QgsRectangle = QgsRectangle(), sampleSize: int = 0, feedback: QgsRasterBlockFeedback = None) QgsRasterBandStats

Returns the band statistics.

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

  • stats (int) – Requested statistics

  • extent (QgsRectangle = QgsRectangle()) – Extent used to calc statistics, if empty, whole raster extent is used.

  • sampleSize (int = 0) – Approximate number of cells in sample. If 0, all cells (whole raster will be used). If raster does not have exact size (WCS without exact size for example), provider decides size of sample.

Parameters:
  • bandNo – The band (number).
