[mapguide-internals] RFC 50 - Hide Legend Styles

[Bruce Dechant]

The motivation is not from Studio as Studio cannot do anything about the issue. You have to use the web tier test pages to grab the XML/edit it/ then save it back - I wish Studio could do this for you now, but it cannot.

The motivation is so that the layer definition doesn't have to have style information removed/added whenever you would like to alter the appearance of the legend.

Thanks,
Bruce

I originally read the RFC to be a way of fixing unwanted behavior in
MapGuide Studio,
and I suspect that Maksim read it the same way.

Offtopic, I think that Autodesk should fix that problem in Studio, not
in the server.

Ontopic, I think it can be very desireable to be able to select exactly
which elements are visible in the legend.
Even though it might be considered non-logical that some themed elements
are showing up in the the map, and
not the legend, I can see that this is usefull.

The sample case would be having 10 gradient colors for a theming, and
only showing the first and last,
to avoid cluttering the legend.

The RFC looks good to me, and the proposed changes seems right.
I find that the motivation is wrong, and as I see it, tries to address a
problem in MapGuide Studio.
It would not be logical that a user "forgets" what styles they deleted.
