[Qgis-developer] Render miniature rasters?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Magnus

If the images are related to vector features and the image path comes from an 
attribute, creating a new renderer seems to be a good choice.

If the images are not feature / attributes related (and you don't have 
thousands of it on the canvas), you could also implement the images as canvas 
items.

I have code for a very simple plugin that inserts/removes image items at click 
locations. The plugin was used for educational purposes, but maybe it could be 
enhanced to something useful:

Marco
