[PD] Best way to deal with many tables.

[cyrille henry]

hello,

your RGB hists are 1D table. 
so what you need is 2D table.
the best 2D table are probably images.
if the 8bits limitation is not a problem, you can store your arrays in 1 (or more) big image (1000x768).
pix_crop + pix_pix2sig to get a row of your image in a table.
