GrADS Command: set stat

## set stat

`set stat on | off`

If `on`, GrADS will print statistical output to the terminal every time the display command is executed. The statistical information is the same as that which is output with set gxout stat.

### Usage Notes

1. If you `"set stat on"`, GrADS will continue to display the output statistics with every display until you `"set stat off"`.

2. Use this command if you are overlaying plots and want to guarantee that the 2nd plot will be drawn with the same range of values. See example #2.

### Examples

1. Here is an example of the statistical output from a horizontal temperature plot:

       Data Type = grid
       Dimensions = 0 1
       I Dimension = 1 to 73 Linear 0 5
       J Dimension = 1 to 46 Linear -90 4
       Sizes = 73 46 3358
       Undef value = -2.56e+33
       Undef count = 1763  Valid count = 1595
       Min, Max = 243.008 302.818
       Cmin, cmax, cint = 245 300 5
       Stats[sum,sumsqr,root(sumsqr),n]:     452778 1.29046e+08 11359.8 1595
       Stats[(sum,sumsqr,root(sumsqr))/n]:     283.874 80906.7 284.441
       Stats[(sum,sumsqr,root(sumsqr))/(n-1)]: 284.052 80957.4 284.53
       Stats[(sigma,var)(n)]:     17.9565 322.437
       Stats[(sigma,var)(n-1)]:   17.9622 322.64
       Contouring: 245 to 300 interval 5

2. Here is an example showing how to overlay plots with the same axis range:

       * display a time series
       'set stat on'
       'd t(lon=180)'

       * get the yaxis range
       range = sublin(result,9)
       cmin = subwrd(range,5)
       cmax = subwrd(range,6)
       cint = subwrd(range,7)

       * draw an overlay
       'set vrange 'cmin' 'cmax
       'd t(lon=0)'
       'set stat off'
