     24== Overview ==
     25
     26This section brefly describes the problem set, and the proposed solution in general terms.  It should be deliberately short, a couple of sentences or so.
     27
     28== Motivation ==
     29Some feature class can contain multiple feature types. For example, in SDF, a feature class can contain point, line, and polygon feature types.
     30The current MapGuide displays legend for all geometry types regardless whether there are features of that geometry types or not. Currently there is a workaround that the user can delete the styles that he doesn¡¯t want to show in the legend. However, in this way, when the user wants to show them in the legend again, he may forget which one he deleted.
     31We¡¯d like to make it more flexible for the legend items to be shown. All the styles should be persisted and the user should be able to decide whether a style is going to be shown.
     32

     34== Proposed Solution ==
     35
     36An additional tag is going to be added to the schema of LayerDefinition. We will add a <ShowInLegend> tag for LineTypeStyleType, AreaTypeStyleType and PointTypeStyleType as following. And the version of the LayerDefinition from 1.2 to 1.3, i.e. LayerDefinition-1.3.0.xsd
     37LineTypeStyle:
     38<xs:complexType name="LineTypeStyleType">
     39    <xs:annotation>
     40      <xs:documentation>Style specification of a line geometry type.</xs:documentation>
     41    </xs:annotation>
     42    <xs:sequence>
     43      <xs:element name="LineRule" type="LineRuleType" maxOccurs="unbounded">
     44        <xs:annotation>
     45          <xs:documentation>Rules to define a theme.</xs:documentation>
     46        </xs:annotation>
     47      </xs:element>
     48      <xs:element name="ShowInLegend" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0"/>
     49      <xs:element name="ExtendedData1" type="ExtendedDataType" minOccurs="0" />
     50    </xs:sequence>
     51</xs:complexType>
     52
     53
     54PointTypeStyle:
     55<xs:complexType name="PointTypeStyleType">
     56    <xs:annotation>
     57      <xs:documentation>Style specification of a point geometry type.</xs:documentation>
     58    </xs:annotation>
     59    <xs:sequence>
     60      <xs:element name="DisplayAsText" type="xs:boolean">
     61        <xs:annotation>
     62          <xs:documentation>Create a text layer.</xs:documentation>
     63        </xs:annotation>
     64      </xs:element>
     65      <xs:element name="AllowOverpost" type="xs:boolean">
     66        <xs:annotation>
     67          <xs:documentation>Allows labels from any map layer (including the current layer) to obscure features on the current layer.</xs:documentation>
     68        </xs:annotation>
     69      </xs:element>
     70      <xs:element name="PointRule" type="PointRuleType" maxOccurs="unbounded">
     71        <xs:annotation>
     72          <xs:documentation>One or more PointRules defining the PointTypeStyle.</xs:documentation>
     73        </xs:annotation>
     74      </xs:element>
     75      <xs:element name="ShowInLegend" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0"/>
     76      <xs:element name="ExtendedData1" type="ExtendedDataType" minOccurs="0" />
     77    </xs:sequence>
     78</xs:complexType>
     79
     80AreaTypeStyle:
     81<xs:complexType name="AreaTypeStyleType">
     82    <xs:annotation>
     83      <xs:documentation>Style specification of a polygon geometry type.</xs:documentation>
     84    </xs:annotation>
     85    <xs:sequence>
     86      <xs:element name="AreaRule" type="AreaRuleType" maxOccurs="unbounded">
     87        <xs:annotation>
     88          <xs:documentation>Rules to define a theme.</xs:documentation>
     89        </xs:annotation>
     90      </xs:element>
     91      <xs:element name="ShowInLegend" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0"/>
     92      <xs:element name="ExtendedData1" type="ExtendedDataType" minOccurs="0" />
     93    </xs:sequence>
     94</xs:complexType>
     95
     96And the corresponding module will also be modified to reflect in UI the schema change.
     97
     98== Implications ==
     99
     100Existing schema documentation will be updated.
     101
     102== Test Plan ==
     103
     104No new unit tests will be created for this. However, the existing unit tests will be run to ensure that they still pass.
