How about a new wizard? You could have a shortcut on the view toolbar?

  Hi Jody, Paul,



Just want to clarify some details about the ‘folder’ grouping functionality:
- How is a folder added? Toolbar button/context menu? Or are the folders
specified with the data?



Thanks,

Naz Chan

Updated the docs with this example; including an example showing how to
change layer stuff with a command.



http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/DEV/02+Project+Map+and+Layer



You will need to do something like this when you toggle visibility.



Summary:

- ILayer - read-only from any thread

- Layer - only modify from a map command issued via map.sendCommandASync(
command ) method

Had a quick look at LayerInteractionPropertyPage.



This seems to be the check:



if( layer.getInteraction( Interaction.BACKGROUND ) ){

   // background layer

}

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.
