[Qgis-developer] Changing the Renderer Type in PyQGis Application

[Justin Hubbard]

Hi

I have managed to change the layer renderer.
Thanks for your assistance.

In line with this, Is there any way to open a QGIS dialog (To edit layer
properties for example) from a PyQGis application?
Has anyone been able to do this?

Thanks
Justin
