After setting a given value as No Data for a raster, the histogram
and min-max statistics are not updated.
Y axis in the histogram is often too high

Seems to me still true on qgis 1.2 from trunk under Ubuntu 9.04

fixed in 1c3390e1 (SVN r11190)

I have to reopen this. The nodata values were removed from the raster band stats, but they are still showing up in the histogram. It is either something to do with the GDALGetRasterHistogram() or the logic behind which bins to display in QgsRasterLayerProperties::on_pbnHistRefresh_clicked() or a combination of both

Perhaps related to that: if you build pyramids, the histogram will count all the cells from all levels of pyramids as valid values, thus giving inflated and incorrect results

Confirmed this in Windows XP, not in a fresh Debian box

Hi Agus,

As far as I know this is so because your raster does not define a null
value in the GDAL sense (use GDAL tools to set a null value for that
raster, NOT the QGIS raster properties)

Yes (as extremely delayed feedback to Benoit too) I plan to rewrite
the raster histogramming at some point to not use gdal so that we can
take into account user defined transparency settings etc. I will do
this when I get a few hours to spare!

Regards

Tim

Hope this helps,
Benoit

Raster histograms include null values, which in many cases severely distorts the
histograms (i.e., images in which a large part of ocean is present or
just images
in which the scene is not a rectangle)
Also, the ability to customize the axes (in particular the x axis) is
very important

Nodata values are also counted when using the "load min/max values from band" feature on the "Style" tab.

This was supposed to be fixed a long time ago: #857-2
I guess I should probably reopen that bug, or file a new one... but it might be the same issue as this with the histogram.

Should this really be "low" priority?

Probably this is related/duplicate/consequence of #3840

Actually the "no data value" does not make anything NULL, it just turn the pixels transparent, but they retain they original value.
