Atleast please tell me the file to modify to render a vector file(shape)
to an image file
Hi,
you're not very clear what exactly you want.
But, if you want a one time imagefile of a map from a shapefile, use
'Save as Image' from the File menu.
If you want to do some python coding for a plugin, please have a look in
to for example the "Html Image Map plugin", that one saves an image from
current map. Minimal code from Python console in a running qgis:
qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().saveAsImage("/tmp/mymap.png")
If you want a server process generating maps from the (changing?)
shapefile, you need a WMS (Web Mapping Server). You can use QGIS
mapserver for that: http://karlinapp.ethz.ch/qgis_wms/. But even more
famous ones like Minnesote Mapserver (mapserver.org), or Geoserver
(geoserver.org).
