Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] legend generation

No I don't think this is possible out of the box.

We use a little PHP/Mapscript script to do that.

Best regards,
Bart

Sorry, but I have another question. Is it possible to get the layer names in the legend? Now I only get the different classes. I would like first the layer name and then the legenditems for that layer. Setting layer.name and/or layer.title does not help..

Thanks,

Dolf.

Thanks Bart and David! I though I had read that the title element was the one giving the name in the legend. I guess I misread :) It works now!

There may be other things wrong, but for a layer or class to show up in
the legend, that  class needs to have a name.  It appears that neither
of the classes in your layer have names.

Hi People,

I don't understand legends I think. I have found the mapfile reference and mapscript API reference, but can't get this to work. I have got a map file (see below). When I try to create a legend for it with the mapserver legend tool, or by using mapscript (someMapObj.drawLegend().save(filename)), I only get a very small empty image. The map itself is displayed correctly with blue and red points. What is needed to create a legend. What am I doing wrong? I don't know where to look.

Thanks,

Dolf.
