Ah, thanks indeed Alex. Yes, for the 'grey' map legend, setting the Min to Max values (you find the max in Histogram tab) and Stretch them out makes it work (lower left setting).
One ought to know...(I have similar legend display issues with ArcGIS sometimes) Wow, thanks; very best F. PS. We are now looking for a tool to intersect the grids with points (drill-down, to grab the underlying point layer values from grids. Can that be done in qgis too ? We use extract in R, or intersect in Hawths tools (GME; works usually best), or Extract Values to Points in ArcGIS). Thanks indeed for any pointers. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Mandel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 1:12 PM To: Falk Huettmann Cc: qgis-user Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Vector to Raster Conversion, was :[Euclidean Distance grid creation problem] I ran your data, it worked fine for me. Yes initially it all looks 1 color. After going into the Properties. choosing to use Custom Min/Max values, Selecting to Load from Actual, and stretching min/max. I can see the data no problem. I can see why sampling randomly with the info tool won't work, since you need to click info exactly where a river line occurs. http://www.pasteall.org/pic/52841 Thanks, Alex On 06/04/2013 01:37 PM, Alex Mandel wrote: > Ok, now we're getting somewhere.
