[Geomoose-users] LEGEND SYMBOLOGY

[Bob Basques]

Jim,
 
How did your meeting go?
 
Also, can you add the MAPFILE you are using here, so we can look at it,
for the layer you want to have a legend for?

I will have to call the quest for symbology off till the workshop on
the 16th.  I still cannot make it work.  I would be happy to write up a
summary of how to put all of the pieces together so they can be found in
one easy spot.  "How to symbolize the legend.'  
 
I have Named the Class.
The legend is ON.
 
The odd part is - it appears too easy.

All,
 
I think someone already noted this, but . . .
 
You need to have a value for the NAME parameter inside the LAYER
definition for a Legend graphic to be generated.  If the NAME parameter
is not present or set to a value, there will be no legend graphic
created for that layer.

If I remember correctly, there are two types of legends that mapserver
is capable of producing: HTML and Bitmap. I think (unless this has
changed recently) that GeoMOOSE is expecting an Bitmap legend. 

This is the legend section used at the city: 

  LEGEND 
    STATUS ON 
    KEYSIZE 20 12 
    LABEL 
      TYPE BITMAP 
      COLOR 0 0 0 
      SIZE MEDIUM 
    END 
  END

I have the classes all defined to show up in the map thematically, and
the only thing that seems to make sense is the status on in the mapfile.
 It is ON.  For clarity, the statedemo comes with only the County
Boundaries in the legend, and I cannot see where it tells mapserver how
to turn on the legend other than status ON.  I used the county map file
as a template and the new layer show the symbology in the legend so it
must be in the map file, but where? 



Thanks, 



jim

That's all Mapserver Mapfiles...

See if any of this documentation helps...


http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/legend 




http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/class 



The SYMBOL and NAME from the class are used to generate the legend
images.

What seems like an easy question has taken a lot of time for me to try
figure out.  I want to know what file to edit to add the symbology in my
classes in the mapfile to the legend in the GeoMoose display.  Any
takers?
