netweaver:tutorials:geonetweaver_legend_editing

Instead of building legend editing into GeoNetWeaver we opted instead to use MapWindow GIS to create and edit the legend. MapWindow GIS is a very well supported open source project. It is installed when GeoNetWeaver is installed.

To extract a MapWindow GIS project file from a GeoNetWeaver geoproject:

  1. Open the geoproject in GeoNetWeaver
  2. Open the geoproject editor from the Edit|Setup… menu.
  3. Press the “next” button until you are at the last page, the “Legend” page.
  4. Press the “export” button to export the legend to a MapWindow GIS project file.

To import a MapWindow GIS project file into a GeoNetWeaver geoproject:

  1. Open the geoproject in GeoNetWeaver
  2. Open the geoproject editor from the Edit|Setup… menu.
  3. Press the “next” button until you are at the last page, the “Legend” page.
  4. Press the “import” button to import your new legend to a MapWindow GIS project file.

When importing a MapWindow GIS project file any existing legend in the geoproject is overwritten.
