Calculates and stores off statistics on every band of every cube added to this process via the SetInputCube method.
The newly calculated statistics are stored in two ways: as a vector where each entry is a single Statistics object for every band of a particular input cube, and as a vector where each entry is a vector of Statistics objects, for each band separately, of a particular input cube.

Checks to make sure the input cube meets the inputted requirements.
cube | Cube to check |
requirements | Use to specify requirements for the input file. The following requirments are checked against 1) ic_base::SizeMatch checks to make sure the input cube has the same bands, samples, and lines as the first input cube open using this method, 2) ic_base::SpatialMatch checks to make sure the input cube has the same samples and lines as the first input cube, 3) ic_base::Georeferenced checks to make sure latitude/longitudes can be obtained from the input cube, 4) ic_base::FullyGeoreferenced checks to make sure latitude/longitude, phase/incidence/emission, and other geometric parameters can be obtained from the input cube, 5) ic_base::OneBand checks to make sure the input cube has exactly one band. Note, that these requirements can be logically or'ed. For example, ic_base::SpatialMatch | ic_base::georeferenced. Defaults to 0 |

This method allows the programmer to turn on/off the propagation of labels from the 1st input cube to any of the output cubes.
By default, propagation occurs automatically in the Process class when a call to either of the SetOutputCube methods is invoked. If the program * requires no propagation then utilize this method. This method can be invoked between successive calls of SetOutputCube so that some cube will have labels propagated while others will not.

Propagate the tables from the cube with the given filename to the output cube.
This is done at the time this method is called, not during normal processing. The names of the tables to propagate can be provided through the second paramter, by specifing a list of table names. Not providing any list (or providing an empty list) will propagate all tables.
fromName | QString of the name of the cube containing the tables to propagate. |
tableNames | List of QStrings of the names of the tables to propagate; default is empty, which indicates that all tables will be propagated. |
