Statistics Reloaded.

[Tomaz Canabrava]

Willem,


Thanks for your feedback, I'll play more with this on the weekend. I do
believe that your ideas are nice and I'll experiment with them. If you want
I can give you my branch for you to test and experiment too.

Actually, considering that I'm by no means a good math person, do you mind
to create mockups for all possible statistics that you can think Subsurface
should provide?

This will help me a lot.
