[Qgis-developer] How can I program a raster legend using PyQGIS?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

QgsRasterLayer has a method rasterLayer->getPaletteAsPixmap() which
gets a pixmap with a pallette swatch on it. I dont know if this is
available from the python bindings (I'm guessing it is), or if it
meets your needs...

Regards

Tim
