Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Choropleth map legend

[Andy T. <A.G...@le...>]

Thanks Hal,

I tried making a class by extending DirectLayer.

I tried adding it as a layer to the MapContent. It does something, but I have not figured out what as yet...

I'm going to work on this tomorrow. It is most important for me that I can get the bounds for each of the classes. Ideally I would like to produce a legend, but at the moment I haven't found a way of getting the values back... Hopefully I will find a way tomorrow, but if anyone has any further pointers, that would be great.

Cheers,

Andy

Andy,
I derived a class from DirectLayer and implemented the draw method which worked great.  

Some of the legend text was dynamic (e.g. low/high values for each color).
A little interesting to figure out the size of rectangles I needed to draw for each legend item.  Here's a snippet:

private Font titlef = new Font("Ariel", Font.BOLD, 12); private Font itemf  = new Font("Ariel", Font.BOLD, 10);

Rectangle2D titleLabelRect = titlef.getStringBounds(title, new FontRenderContext(null, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT,
RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_DEFAULT));

Rectangle2D itemLabelRect = itemf.getStringBounds(label, new FontRenderContext(null, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT,
RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_DEFAULT));

// now get the height of the title rectangle and height to use for each legend item:

th = (int) titleLabelRect.getHeight();
ih = (int) itemLabelRect.getHeight();  // height of site label.  Also used
as icon size	
 ...

Hope this helps,
Hal

Subject: [Geotools-gt2-users] Choropleth map legend

Hi,

I would like to have a map legend for the choropleth maps I am generating, please will you help?

To style the main part of the map I have followed an example using ColorBrewer and FilterFactory2. I have a Classifier by calling evaluate on a Function from the FilterFactory2.

I've have searched and found others asking about this [1], but no answers.
