[Dhis2-users] Downloaded map doesn't show all layers and use of term Quintiles
Hi DHIS team, Not sure if this is deliberate or not, but not all layers (facility layer and google background) are shown when one downloads a map (v2.11). Would it be possible for these layers to appear (or not) in the download based on whether that layer is toggled on or off? All other layers seem to work this way. Any chance this can be unified? Perhaps the google image is too big, but a lot of users want to create facility maps... I was also wondering if the automatic legend method currently termed 'Quintiles' would be more user friendly if termed 'Equal numbers'? Many are confused by this term.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Downloaded map doesn't show all layers and use of term Quintiles
The facility layer is different from the other layers as it displays images by reference, i.e. the images are not SVG shapes. We know a lot of users want to create facility maps, and it might be possible to include them in the download somehow, but so far we have not prioritized it as there is a print screen button on most keyboards.. Quantiles is the correct term as far as I know, but I agree that it might be confusing. Let's change it to Equal numbers.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Downloaded map doesn't show all layers and use of term Quintiles
Hi Dan, yes we could easily use SVG for icons and then embed them in the download. Only problem is that IE8, which we still officially support, uses viewport to render maps and does not support SVG out of the box. Eventually we will scrap support for IE8 but not immediately..

Re: [Dhis2-users] Downloaded map doesn't show all layers and use of term Quintiles
I think the usual terminology for this would be Equal counts. Quintiles is not the correct word though, except when the population would be divided into 5 parts.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Downloaded map doesn't show all layers and use of term Quintiles
Agree with Jason - Equal counts sounds best. Quintiles are just one specific type of quantiles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 3:10 PM, Jason Pickering jason.p.picker...@gmail.com wrote: I think the usual terminology for this would be Equal counts.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Downloaded map doesn't show all layers and use of term Quintiles
We never used quintiles, we used quantiles like mapfish does. Something more understandable is probably better, so I'll let the English tongues decide. Seems like there is a consensus on equal counts then. On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 3:13 PM, Knut Staring knu...@gmail.com wrote: Agree with Jason - Equal counts sounds best.
