Hi Arunmozhi

Thank you very much for the heatmap plugin. I'm going to commit it to master if there are no objections (putting it into the raster menu).

>I think a generic QgsFileWriter or QgsGDALFileWriter instead of (or along with) QgsGridFileWriter in the QGIS API would be a great feature

QgsGridFileWriter is used by the interpolation plugin for historical reason, I hope to change that soon. Much better is to use the GDAL API directly for raster creation (like in raster calculator or in raster terrain plugin).

Yes, a raster file writer class would also be a possibility. However, at the moment, I don't see much advantage over the creation with GDAL. Maybe the creation of GRASS rasters directly?

Regards,
Marco

    Marco H. had a patch to set a default file format/compression :

I went through the Raster calculator code, the multiple format support it provides is through the GDALWarper. I think a generic QgsFileWriter or QgsGDALFileWriter instead of (or along with) QgsGridFileWriter in the QGIS API would be a great feature, so that plugins like the interpolator, heatmap..etc can benefit and support multiple output formats instead of the grid file alone.
