This operation allows plotting a distribution histogram for the numerical parameters and creating the corresponding geometrical groups of the given shape.

To call Shape Statistics dialog box, in the Main Menu select Inspection - > Shape Statistics.

In this dialog:

"Selected objects" standard selection box allows selecting one or more geometrical objects.

"Type" combo-box with the following items: "Edges length", "Faces area", "Solids volume".
Note
"Type" combo-box includes only parameters applied to the currently selected shape (e.g. "Solids volume" will not be available for a selected face or shell); multiple selection is processed correspondingly (i.e. only types applicable for all selected shapes will be available).
"Number of intervals" spin box is used to specify number of distribution histogram ranges.

"Scalar range" checkable group box, when switched ON, allows specifying custom values range used for plotting and creating groups.
Note
By default, "Scalar range" controls are empty; pressing "Compute" button allows automatically computing the initial range of the chosen parameter. This is necessary as the computation of the parameters range can be time-consuming for large or complex models. In case of multiple selection, the scalar range is computed for all selected shapes.
"Plot" button opens or uses an opened Plot2d viewer and plots the distribution histogram for the selected shape(s).

"Create groups" button allows creating groups according to the currently specified parameters. The group names will include numerical values of the range, e.g. "Edges_length_0-20", "Edges_length_20-40", etc. Empty groups are not created.

Close dialog box, by pressing Close button.

Note: This functionality is available only if GUI module is built with Plot 2D Viewer (option SALOME_USE_PLOT2DVIEWER is ON when building GUI module).
