<p>Hi Ezra,</p>
<p>Not so sure how useful a legend for a heatmap would be?</p>
<p>What would you display or expect? A gradient - yes - I understand that - but what numbers? Heatmaps aggregate points (potentially weighted by an attribute) and sums up those points within a defined radius. Then it colors the result with a gradient from min to max. How meaningful are those aggregated numbers?</p>
<p>After all - you also can't query heatmap layers with the Identify tool - because the numbers are quite useless.</p>
<p>Heatmaps are not quantitative views in my opinion, but more qualitative views to show how distributed point data is on the same view.</p>
<p>But maybe Nyall, the developer of the heatmap support in QGIS core has a better idea of how such a legend would look like.</p>

Hello,
<div> </div>
<div>I am working with QGIS 2.8.1 on Windows 7 (64-bit).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I displaying a point layer using the 'Heatmap' option in styles. The heatmap renders great, but there is no legend in the map composer. Does anyone know if this a bug or has this feature not been created yet?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
