[Chameleon] Query and LegendTemplate Questions

[Paul Spencer]

Robin is right on both points.  Polygonal layers are queryable as long 
as you add a TEMPLATE.  If you don't add a tolerance, it may not return 
results ... not sure, you will have to experiment.

There is no 'non-programmatic' way to change the query results at this 
point.  Sorry.  You can try to follow the instructions at:

http://chameleon.maptools.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=QueryWidgetCustomizingResults

(for those paying attention ;) this was previously in the WidgetMagic 
FAQ but I realized that was not an efficient way to add this to the tiki 
so I moved the content to its own tiki page - the FAQ is still there but 
now links to this page.)

Cheers,

Paul
