[ka-Map-users] Customization of ka-Map legend

[Paul Spencer]

I think it would be reasonable to have a set of global variables that  
control this kind of thing and modify the individual controls to be  
somewhat configurable.  The legend control is one that can quite  
easily be configurable in this case.

For the legend, this would entail adding a couple of attributes to  
the constructor of the kaLegend class and using those to optionally  
include or not include some of the controls.

I'll look at adding this to the cvs version

Cheers

Paul
