Statist plugin for QGIS

I have released my plugin for QGIS — Statist.

It is used to obtain statistical information on the specified field of the vector layer attribute table. Both numeric (integer, real, and date) and text (string) fields are supported. The plugin can work on the whole attribute table as well as on selected features. In addition to displaying basic statistical values, Statist also displays a frequency distribution histogram of the field values.

To use Statist, it is necessary to have matplotlib installed (it can be installed via OSGeo4W or downloaded from the project page, as it is used to display the frequency distribution histogram.

The plugin is available from my QGIS plugins repository. Comments, feature requests, and bug reports are welcome. It is best to post them in the bugtracker, but email is fine too.

If someone does not need a frequency distribution histogram and unnecessary dependencies, they can use the “Basic Statistics” tool from fTools (now included in core). After my patch, it has the same functionality as Statist except for the frequency distribution histogram.
