[Mapserver-users] WMS GetLegendGraphic and KEYIMAGE

Thu May 11 12:53:11 PDT 2006

Tom,

  Reading through the e-mail, I am still not convinced what the best 
solution is : I think that the default behavior which is to return the 
icons using the same size for all the class (containing either keyimage 
or not) seems to be the most reasonable.
  Which part do you see needs a modification :
   * the code generating a GetLegendGraphic url inside the capabilities 
(possibility to use other width/height parameters different from the one 
set in the legend object)
   * being able to set a specific icon size on the class that takes 
priority over the keysizex, keysizey of the legend object
  * other changes.

  Later,
