[Gvsig_english] SUGGESTED FUNCTIONALITY gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Layer Properties

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi,

When applying symbology to 'unique values' you use the [Add all] button 
to place all the unique values in the list. The colour scheme is based 
on the selected 'Color Ramp'.

If you sort the imported 'unique values' using the UP and DOWN arrow to 
make more sense the colour scheme may not be suitable. If you want to 
change the colour scheme to match an existing ramp then you need to 
reimport the field, which subsequently undoes the sorting.

What would be useful is to be able to apply a colour ramp to the list 
(as sorted).

A good example of this is the vegetation quality series H1, H2, M1, M2, 
L1, L2, D1, D2 (H=High, M=Medium, L=Low, D=Degraded). It imports into 
the list as D1, D2, H1, H2, L1, L2, M1 and M2 with the appropriate ramp 
applied. If you resort the ramp is inappropriate but can't be reapplied. 
You have to manually adjust the colours.

As a work around I created a new field (numeric), imported this field, 
changed the ramp and adjusted the labels accordingly.

It would be good however if the ramp could be reapplied to the existing 
listed values rather than just the imported values.
