How do I create a 'heatmap' in QGIS based on the values of the different points? I did do this once before with rainfall, but can't remember how!

Ok, I think I've found what I used last time - v.surf.idw. The only problem is that the vector file imports into GRASS without the values. Will still sort this out. – Bernie Dec 19 '12 at 13:42

Use the Heatmap plugin. It is the icon with two yellow circles. You can get to it by either right-clicking somewhere on your toolbar and select from the popup menu of plugins or you can go to Plugins -> Manage Plugins.
