Custom layer view

[simflex]

Hi again.

Hope you can be kind enough to assist me again.

By default, mapguide layer view is on the leftside of the map window.

We want the layers to appear on the right side of the map window.

Can someone assist, please.

Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

You can't change the position of the legend. Your only option would be to
turn it off (layersViewWidth=0) and then write your own custom legend. Many
people have created their own legends.

Hi,

How would you write your own custom legend?


Thanks

hi Srdjan,

Quite frankly, I have no idea.

I was hoping to see a sample script of how to do that but so far, there seems to be none. Turning off the legend is the easy part but actually writing the script is the hard part because first of all, I don't even know how to get started.

If you find out a way to do it, please share. I will do the same.

Thanks,

It's moderately hard and takes some effort to maintain. You basically
need to use either DAT or Javascript to enumerate the layers, and
present them to the end user in a different layout. Any special items
like hierarchy, aggregation, or custom symbology needs to be maintained
by your application.

Our Habitat Atlas has a custom JS-based legend:

At this point I would strongly recommend waiting for MapGuide
Enterprise. Although it doesn't support legend repositioning out of the
box, one of the Autodesk developers posted a method for doing so:

Another site with a very nice custom legend is the City of Tacoma. It can
be seen here: http://govme.cityoftacoma.org/govme/mapguidecs/mgmain.aspx
