Hello list! Altough the GetLegendGraphic functionality works great for simple cases/layers/layergroups there are some shortcomings when dealing with more complex layer(groups).
I'm in a phase where I consider wether GetLegendGraphic as implemented by Geoserver meets my needs, and the possibility of improving it. My main wish for the GetLegendGraphic is to make it "dynamic", i.e. supply it a bbox (and map with/height?) as in GetMap, and get back a legend consisting of just the features available on the given are (so that the legend matches the part of the map the user currently sees). I haven't found any previous discussions on this, sorry if I have overlooked any. In my mind this seems like a rather simple task: - Geoserver has code for getting features at a given area (used in GetMap) - Geoserver supports rendering of legend entries I guess the main issue is combining these in a simple and (rather) fast manner, so that GetLegendGraphic is performant. When it comes to implementation my java skills are severly lacking and I am not familiar with the Geoserver codebase, but given some pointers and guidance I guess I could try. Another option I'm considering is sponsoring the development of this, but in order to justify this I need some (guess/est)imates on time/complexity of the task, and of course I need someone (with knowledge of WMS in Geoserver) to take on the task. Please not that I am just asking for some ballpark figures, and if this is something that (if funded) would be considered added to Geoserver. So, any comments, pointers, and esitmates welcome!
