Hi Ralph: There is an experimental "table of contents" view that you can look at for ideas in the community section.
The layers view is intended to be a simple reflection of draw order; I would prefer to see a "legend" view created that allowed you to group layers as you indicate in your email. There have been a number of suggestions about how all of that can work; one of the ones I like the most is to mark some layers as "background" (and not list them in the legend view") and in a similar manner take the "decorations" (and not display them in the legend view by default). So this is a common request; one that several development teams have tackled to their satisfaction (usually taking about two weeks to a month each depending on the approach). Thus far a good solution has not been provided back to the core udig platform. -- Jody Garnett On Saturday, 25 June 2011 at 11:36 PM, Ralph B Holland wrote: > > Hi, > > We are running with over 15 related data sources, and we plan to use more, > and the Layer View is becoming large. > > I am wondering if a composite group layer control has been included in a > subsequent release of udig? > > What we would like is to do is to be able to group several layers together > under a composite group control that could be expanded or closed down in a > similar fashion to the + or – paradigm seen in other applications. > > Thanks. > > Regards, > > > Ralph Holland, > > __________________________________________________________________________________ > This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain information > that is confidential > and intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above.
