[Qgis-user] Displaying a color ramp (color gradient) in the kegend

[Agustin Lobo]

Manuel,

You need 2 plugins from QGIS Contributed Repository
http://pyqgis.org/repo/contributed
1-Band Raster Colour Table
Colour Scale Bar

Check the authors web page:

I disagree with Ramon. Color bars for raster layers are very useful
and actually a severe
insufficiency of QGIS 1.6
