How to exclude history info from identify

[Aldures]

Here is a newbie question.

When doing "identify pic -verbose -crop 100x100+1+1" sometimes get history info. Other times I don't, it really depends on the picture content.

I also would like to know how I would only get this info from identify:

"
Channel statistics:
Red:
Min: 0 (0)
Max: 1 (1)
Mean: 0.004375 (0.004375)
Standard deviation: 0.0659989 (0.0659989)
Green:
Min: 0 (0)
Max: 1 (1)
Mean: 0.004375 (0.004375)
Standard deviation: 0.0659989 (0.0659989)
Blue:
Min: 0 (0)
Max: 1 (1)
Mean: 0.00435547 (0.00435547)
Standard deviation: 0.0658521 (0.0658521)
"


Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Use convert .... -format %c histogram:info:
See IM Examples, file handling, histogram.

As for channel statistics, at this time the ONLY method is to try to use veraious text utilities to extract it.

For one such example see...
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compare/#type_general
and go down to 'Black and White Images'
