Ainda não conhecia seu blog, achei muito bem estruturado e de fácil acesso... Vou indica-lo aos amigos. Um abraço Olá Oliver,

It's a screenshot of the application's data view, rather than a composed map (aka layout view). So the legend is in the TOC panel on the left, but I've cropped that out. The scale and north arrow are in the data view by default. The "Print Composer" in QGIS has a button to add an automatic legend anywhere on the map. However, as I'm using a graduated symbol, it wouldn't be particularly useful - it would just show the bottom and top colours. QGIS's cartography is starting to get rather good - I think presentation and visualisation is its strength. Analysis is more difficult, it is getting better (with fTools, and GRASS interoperability) but still has some way to go. Good point about the legend – I was being a bit lazy.

I've played with QGIS before and found that these are the elements that are most lacking in terms of output at the moment. Where’s the legend and all the other cartographic/design bumpf?
