How to implement a legend from a static image

StephenLead — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:14:20 GMT

The new legend widget works well when using a legend defined in ArcMap.

I need to use a complicated legend, which has been created in a graphics package and provided as an image.

I thought of storing it in a geodatabase, serving it via ArcGIS Server, and displaying it in a static map frame.

Any better/easier ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

Perhaps I'm missing something, but you're talking about putting an image on a web page, correct? Just put an img tag in a div and you're good to go.

Hi Derek,

Yeah, I should have provided more details about what I'm trying to do.

For reasons I don't fully understand (the map is part of a larger and more complicated site) it isn't possible simply to say <img src="geology_legend.jpg">

The images for the legends will need to be stored in a database rather than as simple images in a directory. I figured it might be possible to use ArcGIS Server as the database and server.

I'll post back if we end up finding a solution.

Thanks,
Steve
