[Qgis-user] colour gradients

[M.E.Dodd]

Any chance that the color ramps could appear when you add a legend in print composer, at the moment there is just a block that says legend without actually giving the legend itself.
Also in print composer the black lines round each grid square on a vector grid become much thicker than they are in the map itself.

Hi,
color ramps for vectors are now available if you use the new symbology.

Ramps for rasters in qgis are still missing (there is a ticket open in
the trac) but you may want to import them into a GRASS mapset (you can
do it trough (QGIS) and the use the r.colors.table were you can find a
good number of ramps available.

cheers
