I frequently load large numbers of layers into QGis. They all get normalized independently, which makes it difficult to compare them. So here's a chunk of Python code which normalizes them all together.
def GetAllLayersMinMax():
minval = float('Inf')
maxval = -float('Inf')
for l in iface.legendInterface().layers():
stats = l.dataProvider() \
.bandStatistics(
l.renderer().usesBands()[0],
QgsRasterBandStats.All,
l.extent(),
0)
minval = min(minval,stats.minimumValue)
maxval = max(maxval,stats.maximumValue)
return (minval,maxval)
def NormAllLayerColours(minval,maxval):
for l in iface.legendInterface().layers():
myType = l.renderer().dataType(l.renderer().usesBands()[0])
myEnhancement = QgsContrastEnhancement(myType)
contrast_enhancement = QgsContrastEnhancement.StretchToMinimumMaximum
myEnhancement.setContrastEnhancementAlgorithm(contrast_enhancement,True)
myEnhancement.setMinimumValue(minval)
myEnhancement.setMaximumValue(maxval)
l.renderer().setContrastEnhancement(myEnhancement)
l.triggerRepaint()
#Use this
NormAllLayerColours(*GetAllLayersMinMax())
#Or this
NormAllLayerColours(1,1000)
