[Qgis-developer] Heatmap renderer: caching possible?

2014-11-26 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi, I tried the new heatmap renderer in QGIS master. It works nicely. I wonder if we could introduce a caching mechanism in a temporary raster layer to speed up zooming and panning? The idea would be to recreate the heatmap every time the project is loaded and then cache it while the project
