Configure a legend to display a dynamic legend in the print output. The created dynamic legend can include one or more pages.

 

Additionally to the printing template a second printing template with the name "[layoutname]_legend.pagx" (e.g., "A4_Portrait_legend.pagx") must be present in the layout VertiGIS_PrintLayouts folder. This second printing template must contain the layout element "Esri Legend".

Property

Description

Field caption

Caption in print template. Standard ratios are applied if there are no language-specific terms are specified.

Field value

Value in print template.

Layer composite legend switchable?

Specifies whether the user is allowed to decide whether a legend shall be printed in the compact format ('No' / default) or thematically grouped for composite layers ('Yes').

This option is only recommended, if the current template supports printing a legend.

Layer composite legend default status?

Specifies whether per default a legend shall be printed thematically grouped for composite layers ('Yes') or in the compact format ('No' / default).

This value is only used, if the current template supports printing a legend and the printing of the legend has been activated in the config ('Legend switchable?' and 'Legend default status?').

If 'Layer composite legend switchable?' is active, the user will be able to overrule this value in the GUI.
