[fusion-users] MapServer + Fusion

[Paul Spencer]

Tim,

there is a little bit of layer metadata that you can use to control  
how things appear in the legend.

"displayInLegend" "true|false"

By default, all layers are shown in the legend.  If set to false, it  
will hide the layer in the legend

"expandInLegend" "true|false"

By default, all classified layers will show a sub-branch in the legend  
with all the classes.  If set to false then the sub-branch is  
initially collapsed

"legendLabel" "string value"

By default, the layer's NAME value is used in the legend.  If this  
metadata is set, then the value will be used in the legend instead.

"selectable" "true|false"

By default, layers are not 'selectable' using the select widget.  If  
this is set to 'true' then the layer will be considered 'selectable'  
so the select widget will be enabled when this layer is selected in  
the legend.

The legend will create folders for each group and put the appropriate  
layers in those groups.  The groups respond to the following metadata  
in the first LAYER object in the group (first layer to use the group  
name)

"groupLegendLabel" "string value"

By default, the group name is used as the legend label.  If this  
metadata is set then the value will be used instead of the group name.

"groupDisplayInLegend" "true|false"

By default, all groups are displayed in the legend.  Setting this to  
false will hide the group in the legend (and all layers that are part  
of that group too).

"groupExpandInLegend" "true|false"

By default, groups initially start expanded to show the layers in that  
group.  Setting this to false will start the group off 'collapsed'.

Cheers

Paul
