Hi, Martin.  Thanks so much for your answer.  There's an error in my last
post.  I need to develop a raster LEGEND component, not a raster layer
component.  Excuse me for that mistake.  What I particularly need is to
display several Ascii Grid Rasters in the map canvas of QGIS, and, attached
to it a legend component showing the list of layers loaded and for each
layer the symbology indicating the colors corresponding to each pixel value
of the raster layer.  I mean, something similar to the vector layer legend,
where you can categorize the information and assign a color for each
category, and things like those.  It seems it's not possible to obtain such
a legend for an ascii grid raster layer with the current functionality
included in QGIS.  Because of that, I think the only way to do that is to
develop a plugin for producing the legend.  Am I right or there is something
more I should know about this topic?  Could you give me some guidance to
start developing such a component?

Thanks again and best regards.
