Description

I would like to ask for one feature:
Qgis can leash its full power as a viewer for GRASS data.
I'd wish to have QGIS using the associated raster colorschemes for GRASS rasters. Those that one select with r.color.
At the moment, the GRASS rasters sometimes get displayed in greyscale and others in pseudocolors.

Replying to timmie:

That's not true. QGIS supports GRASS colortables just fine.

The problem you might be running into is that for GRASS raster maps which don't have a colortable assigned, GRASS defaults to "rainbow" colortable, but QGIS displays such rasters all grey or black (cause they lack a colortable). Probably QGIS should also default to something when GRASS colortable is not defined, not sure what though - a greyscale? the "rainbow" too?

I would suggest wantfix. I think that QGIS DOES display GRASS rasters without color table as grayscale. If not, can you provide a commands how to create a raster which is not displayed as grayscale?

GRASS and QGIS are 2 different applications GRASS is using rainbow for rasters without CT while QGIS grayscale.

Currently GRASS rasters are displayed through gdal provider and I don't think we should put a condition there to display GRASS files in a different way.

It is also possible to switch easily from grayscale to pseudocolor in layer properties.
