Description bcr 2007-04-13 07:23:07 UTC
Version:           9.2 - SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The numeric column in the statistical values of the Histogram -> Statistics window is poorly formatted.

Any column of numeric values should be right-aligned to allow for easy comparison. If the values are fractional then they should use the same level of precision or ensure that the decimal separators all line up properly. Numbers greater than 1000 should also use locale-appropriate ("." or ",") separators as well. Some examples:

Left-aligned (current style):

0.2
123.99
1232313.0

Properly right-aligned, with 1000's separator:

________0.20
______123.99
1,232,313.00

Picky I know but its thats the kind of polish we should aim for.

I would also suggest shortening the current label "Standard deviation" to just "Std. deviation" to help the proportions.

Several images and their histogram

I did a more thorough check of the patch, and find quite
a few cases, where it does not work optimally:
(A) too much is cut-off
(B) not enough is cut-off to the right
(C) too much is cut-off
(D) too much is cut-off

Maybe one should only use the largest 10% and lowest 10%
to detect blown out high-lights and shadows and
regard everything else as normal contents?

Unless there are any values which are being clipped, I would
suggest to always leave 2-3% of the height just blank,
so that it is clear, when something is clipped.

If you revise the patch, I am perfectly happy to test it again
(maybe we can still sneak it into the release candidate for 0.9.2 ;-)
