Rendering a single band raster using a color ramp algorithm
A color ramp allows you to render a raster using just a few colors to represent different ranges of cell values that have a similar meaning in order to group them. The approach that will be used in this recipe is the most common way to render elevation data.
Getting ready
You can download a sample DEM from https://github.com/GeospatialPython/Learn/raw/master/dem.zip, which you can unzip to a directory named rasters in your qgis_data directory.
How to do it...
In the following steps, we will set up objects to color a raster, create a list establishing the color ramp ranges, apply the ramp to the layer renderer, and finally, add the layer to the map. To do this, we need to perform the following: ...
