pyvips stats #473

Dear John C.,

I am finding pyvips truly useful. I have a question regarding pyvips stats() to 'find many image stats'. Have calculated it for a series of images and append the results in a table. See below (the first column is the input name): pyvips-stats_question I figured the name of a few columns but I am still wondering about unknown 1-5 meaning.

Please, clarify them in the documentation (https://libvips.github.io/pyvips/vimage.html#pyvips.Image.stats) if required. Thanks. Cheers, Marco

Hello again, I'm glad it's useful.

The pyvips docs only document the python binding, they don't document the whole of libvips. You need to see the main API docs for that:

https://www.libvips.org/API/current/libvips-arithmetic.html#vips-stats

You can run it from the CLI as well, which can be handy:
