SV: [GRASS-user] Vector map text legend

[Martin Album Ytre-Eide]

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I don't know how to use qgis functions in python. I have had a look at it, and it seems tedious. 

I ended up doing it with ps.map - it seemed I could use the .ps format anyway. I made a script which altered my ps.map file for each iteration - using the data.replace() function in python.

How about using Grass Plugin in QGIS to load your vectors and create legend there?  Not sure how it ties up with your python script.

Cheers

I don't think you can since raster should have numerical values. You could make a legend without category numbers and try to add the text with d.text, but I don't know if that's a good way of doing things.
