Global Mapper v25.0

Export Histogram

Is it possible to export a histogram of lidar and/or grid data? I'm currently looking at elevation but other fields may be useful as well. I see you can do this manually in the metadata tab, but is it possible to batch this and export histograms for many files? I can't see a way to do it in the scripting reference.

    Hello,

    The scripting language does not include commands for producing graphs.  Are you interested in the histogram as a raster image (from the UI, they export as a BMP), or some other format?

    Cheers,
    Bob


  • I'm interested in exporting the CSV text data for the histogram via script. The graph would be a bonus but not necessary.

    Hello,

    We have an open feature request (#15369) to implement script commands for graphing.  I have added your information to the request, and we will post a message on this thread when the status of the request changes.
