It is the GRASS colorrules file. It is a particular ascii format which
basically defines a colorramp intervals for a given range of values. I
have to keep this format, else I break the compatibility with GRASS.

Alright, I also feel changing both would be good. By legend I mean the
legend graphics object that is part of the map graphics.
Instead my doubt is if I should draw the same "legend" also in the
layers view, since in fact the feature layers change their color
whenever the properties are changed.
However I thought these were things to be added to the Service of the
particular data types, but I couldn't find the methods. How is
responsible to create those graphics?
