Subject: Re: [udig-devel] Clarifications on Legend View Spec

Comments inline:

1. In the current Layers View, there are Style, Mylar, Zoom buttons, will these 
be retained in the Legend View?
Sure; we will need to balance between the space in the view toolbar; with any 
leftovers going into the view menu.

2. For the toggle background layers functionality, what are considered 
background layers?
The one marked as background; paul made a flag we could check.

3. The functionality for the ordering of layers, will through a context menu? 
Toolbar buttons?
Probably both:
1) for view menu you can make an action that is enabled when the selection is a 
layer
2) same deal with context menu

There should already be a move up and move down command which your action can 
submit to the Map when pressed.


4. For the consider part of the RFC, the grid toggle functionality will be to 
toggle just the grid layer?
- What will be the default behaviour? Shown/hidden?

Um - toggled if a grid layer is present in the layer list (and turned visible); 
otherwise it would be up.

- Will the layer be auto-added on first open of the view?
Sure; do one pass of the layers list and see if you find a grid to turn visible 
first. If not add one to the top of the list.

If you are using one of the edit tools; and cycle through the list of snapping 
options you can watch a grid be automatically added and removed this way 
already.

- Will this override the 'toggle map graphics' functionality?
Not related; the map graphics toggle is only controlling if the layers are 
listed in the legend view.
The grid toggle is controlling if they grid is visible on the map.
So you can toggle the grid on and off; it does not matter if it is shown in the 
legend view or not.
