[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.1 Installation

Tue, 02 Mar 2004 22:31:56 +0100

Hi,

legend functionality is not that straightforward. You can use the 
LegendTemplate widget which uses the logic from Mapserver HTML Legend. For 
more info on Mapserver HTML Legend see:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/html-legend-howto.html

You can try installing the following Chameleon application on your system 
to see it work in its basic form:

http://www.vz.geodan.nl/users/bart/geodan_ms4w-2003-10-31.zip

Also you could use the XMLThemeLegend but this a bit more complex than the 
LegendTemplate, for an online example see (left part of the application):

http://mapsherpa.dmsolutions.ca/hawaii2/

As you can see most of the times these widgets are used both as "legend" 
and layermanager.

If all your layers are served by WMS you could try using the Legend widget 
which I believe is behind the Legend button in the Hawaii demo.

Hope this gets you started.

Best regards,
Bart
