[Qgis-user] Color table for raster map

[Peter Ersts]

The easies way is to make a text file (classification.txt) and add the 
color entries by hand. So the contents of the file will look like:

INTERPOLATION::EXACT
11,0,0,255,255,Post-flooding or irrigated croplands (or aquatic)
14,0,255,0,255,Rainfed croplands
20,255,0,255,Mosaic cropland (50-70%) / vegetation 
(grassland/shrubland/forest) (20-50%)


This will set pixels 11 to blue, 14 to green and 20 to red. The format 
is really basic.
pixel value, red, green, blue, alpha, label (no commas)

Then on the colormap tab, you can click the "Load color map from file" 
button, second one from the top right.

Eventually it is planned that it will be able to read a variety of 
different colormap formats.
