Re: [mapserver-users] MODE=legendicon GROUP Layers
Certainly our mapfiles stay fairly static once we've set them up. Thanks for the suggestion, will have a look at trying it out.

You have complete control over the legend this way and can mix and match data sources however is required without needing to actually map the data out. It is more work overall, but if your MapFiles don’t change often, it’s usually a one time setup thing. I have a few map layers that have 7 or 8 different thresholds for display set MIN/MAXSCALEDENOMs and they all get a dummy layer that displays the same thing for all thresholds.

Re: [mapserver-users] MODE=legendicon GROUP Layers
Thanks for the info Steve, that makes sense - when Groups are used to link related layers things get too ambiguous. We'll look at our options with this one. Cheers Andrew On 07/09/2012 17:22, Lime, Steve D (DNR) steve.l...@state.mn.us wrote: Legend icon only works with layers. Groups are just too ambiguous to uniquely identify the class to be rendered. Groups don't have to be organized by scale ranges. Often they link related layers, for example a bunch of road feature types. I think It would be possible to add support to see if a group name can resolve to a single layer based on scale but that doesn't exist in the code at this point.
