Class: QgsColorRampShader

class qgis.core.QgsColorRampShader(minimumValue: float = 0, maximumValue: float = 255, colorRamp: QgsColorRamp = None, type: QgsColorRampShader.Type = QgsColorRampShader.Interpolated, classificationMode: QgsColorRampShader.ClassificationMode = QgsColorRampShader.Continuous)

Bases: QgsRasterShaderFunction

Creates a new color ramp shader.

Parameters
  • minimumValue – minimum value for the raster shader

  • maximumValue – maximum value for the raster shader

  • type – interpolation type used

  • classificationMode – method used to classify the color ramp shader

  • colorRamp – vector color ramp used to classify the color ramp shader. Ownership is transferred to the shader.

Returns

new QgsColorRampShader
