[Geomoose-users] GeoMoose Catalog- groups and sub-groups- on and off

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

I think I know what Bob is trying to explain.  At one time I did want to try something similar, but I am not sure if the catalog works that way.  Anyways, what I had envisioned is having the ability to turn on or off groups of layers.  For example, using the example catalog below, I would like to be able to turn off the P&Z group using a single click.  When a user turns the P&Z group back on, GeoMOOSE will know which sub layers were on and which were off.  This is similar functionality to what ArcGIS does with its layer groups.  I don't know if GeoMOOSE can do this, and if it can let me know :)

Assessor Layers
-Assessor sub layers
P&Z Layers
-zoning
-septic
Highway Dept Layers
-road plans
-bridges
Baselayers
-roads, rivers, parcels, etc
Backgrounds


What you can try instead is to attach multiple sources to one checkbox in the catalog.  For example:

<layer title="Image and Grid 1" src="myimage/1:mygrid/1"/>
<layer title="Image and Grid 2" src="myimage/2:mygrid/2"/>

I'm putting together an application which has a number of orthoimagery layers.  For each of these image layers, there is a corresponding index layer (i.e., a grid where each cell corresponds to each individual image).  So I took all the image layers and put them in the <catalog> section as a group, multiple=false.

Now, for each image layer, I want to create another group- each of these groups will have an image layer and an index layer.  I want to allow multiple=true, so you can turn the photos and the index on or off at will.  So far, so good.

Here's the hitch:
If I decide to select another ortho layer (subgroup, with images and index), I want to turn off the previously selected group.  This does not happen when I try to select a new group.  How can I do this?  Not sure if this all makes sense, I'd be happy to explain further.
