Re: [mapserver-users] Re: Polygon layer with no fill shows line thumbnail in the legend image
That would be a good idea to define a feature for the legend icon per class. We should also be able to define a custom text attribute so that we could customize the text displayed for the annotation layers. I assume this would apply for a new RFC in practice. Best regards, Tamas 2011/6/22 Lime, Steve D (DNR) steve.l...@state.mn.us What about allowing the definition of a geometry (like inline features) using percentages. The defaults would be as is but could be overridden, kinda like the LEGENDICON class parameter. We could add a LEGENDFEATURE parameter... That would give folks a ton of control and by specifying coordinates in percentages things would scale.
