[Geoserver-users] WMS-GetLegendGraphic-Custom legend

[Patrick O'B. <pad...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have a POINT layer with 2 variables (n=population, m=statistycal variable)
which I render using a sld with several proportional circles for the
population and a colour filling each circle representing the variable which
classifies the population.
I've generated a SLD with n x m rules and it works great (properly ordered,
etc, etc.).

My problem is in the moment I add a layer with a GIS application and it
tries to get the legend via WMS GetLegendGraphic. It brings to the
application a huge legend with n x m entries.
The legend is perfectly generated and shows what there is in the SLD, but
that legend is rather confusing in any application, because it's too large.

Obviously GeoServer can't figure out what I'm trying to represent or the
legend I'd like to show, so my question is:

is there any way I can add an image associated to an style so when I make a
WMS-GetLegendGraphic request geoserver returns the image I've added instead
of generating an image with the SLD rules???
I suggest it as a kind of wrapper, something optional, used only in case
it's needed, very close to WMS decorartor's philosophy.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Paddy
