[Qgis-developer] adding entry to legend view

[humarco]

Hi Nitin,

Currently not. In your case, i think you could put the points in a vectorlayer 
and add this vector layer to the legend. It seems to me that your program 
which reads from pipe is a kind of data provider (and thus could inherit from 
QgsVectorDataProvider). So all you need to do is to add this provider to a 
vector layer and add this layer to the legend. Like this, it would fit nicely 
into the qgis layer/dataprovider philosophy. Is this right or are there 
reasons why it can't be modelled like this?
