Description

I'm trying to make 8bit PNG tiles, so I'm using this sequence

setting = QgsMapSettings()
settings.setOutputImageFormat(QImage.Format_Indexed8)

job = QgsMapRendererParallelJob(self.settings)
job.start()
job.waitForFinished()
image = job.renderedImage()
image.save('path', 'png', -1)

resulting in blank (white) output tiles

using QImage.Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied works as expected

The Qt documentation says:
Warning: Painting on a QImage with the format QImage::Format_Indexed8 is not supported

Instead you could render into a ARGB32_Premultiplied image and convert it to Indexed8 afterwards:

setting = QgsMapSettings()
settings.setOutputImageFormat(Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied)
job = QgsMapRendererParallelJob(self.settings)
job.start()
job.waitForFinished()
image = job.renderedImage()
image8Bit = image.convertToFormat( QImage.Format_Indexed8 )
image8Bit.save('path')
