<div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">As I am new baby, I may be sauciness or wise guy or inexperience, but or I am. I also do not know whether these adjectives are appropriate for me. :-) But I wondered to ask... just commenting...
<br><br>Backward compatibility is cared, isn't? I mean there is obvious reason to add setColorShadingAlgorithm and setContrastEnhancementAlgorithm in 0.9.2.<br><br>Isn't it possible to keep setColorRampingType and setColorScalingAlgorithm also in
0.9.2? They exist in 0.9.1 that is released. Version 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 is so close. <br><br>I know the reason is that "Tradeoff between backward compatibility and architectural quality." howver, the change of code is so fast. Is it normal case for Linux? Or is QGIS fast growing and developing environment? Thanks for your efforts.

<br>For paletted, pseudo color, for custom color maps<br>Read data from band -> Check NoDataValue -> Get transparency level -><br>Shade(color) -> Invert (if necessary) -> Display<br><br>There are now a couple of new classes:
<br>QgsContrastEnhancement - This class is responsible for implementing the<br>contrast enhancement. QgsRasterLayer calls<br>QgsContrastEnhancement::stretch(pixel value) and is returned a stretched<br>value(int). The actual stretching is done by what ever the current
<br>QgsContrastEnhancementFunction [virtual base class] does. This is a per<br>pixel operation at the moment, because it is close to a direct port of<br>what was previously being done in the draw loop in QgsRasterLayer. For 8
<br>and 16 bit data a lookup table is generated to speed things up, 32-bit<br>data are computed each call to stretch().<br><br>QgsRasterShader - Is similar in idea to QgsContrastEnhancement, but no<br>lookup table at the moment. QgsRasterShader::generateShadedValue(pixel
<br>value, &returnRed, &returnGreen, &returnBlue) computes a RGB value for<br>the provided pixel value. The actual computation is done by a<br>QgsRasterShaderFunction[virtual base class].<br><br>Programatically, you could create your own shader or contrast
<br>enhancement function by inheriting the base QgsRasterShaderFunction or<br>QgsConstrastEnhancementFunction then calling,<br>QgsRasterLayer::setContrastEnhancementFunction(new<br>MyContrastEnhancementFunction())<br>QgsRasterLater::setSetRasterShaderFunction(new MyRasterShaderFunction())
