[udig-devel] What glyph is this? Hi Moovida

[Jody Garnett]

Hey Andrea we will just need to figure this puppy out ... lets treat it 
like a design problem.

It could be an ImageDescriptor is *not* the best way to let a layer (or 
resource) contribute a drawing to a legend. It is good for the SWT 
controls however.

Personally it would be more fun to have them contribute something like a 
map graphic that is asked to draw on a section of the real map (then it 
could draw at 100% resolution when we go to print out a map).

Just a thought....

I just hunted down where the layer view glyph comes from here ... I have 
not looked at the Legend code - can you have a look and email about what 
you see?

Cheers,
Jody
