SLD Support-.MXD/AGServer

AaronGilliland — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:04:57 GMT

Enhance SLD (OGC Styled-Layer-Descripter) support by making AGS SLD aware and allow users to edit in that standard on the AGS, without needed an ArcMap document. Secondly, make ArcMap docs (MXD) SLD conforming or exportable. This will allow ESRI products to get a hook into the OGC environment that is quickly scaling to the capabilities of ESRI products.

I posted the second part of this request as parr of my ArcGIS 10 betatesting:
ESRI respons: That will be a nice feature to have, but currently it's not planned for ArcGIS 10. Without client side SLD support in ArcMap the use of WFS will be minimal: to slooooow!
I can't imagine why it would be hard to implement in ArcMap.

It remove the necessity for ArcMap entirely. I think its a competition thing in there mind. Same reason services on ArcGIS Server do not support WMS,WFS,WCS natively but their implementation of REST and SOAP.

Sad, really.

one option is to use GeoCAT bridge which creates SLD files from ArcMap directly. Works a treat.

Export layer symbology (lyr) as SLD

nita14 — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 13:38:30 GMT

I want to export layer symbology (lyr) as SLD file so I can consume 'predefined look' in other GIS desktop applications.

Hoave you explored the *.style files users can create to store symbology? This help file would get you started.

rdklein,

I meant that this is a matter of interoperability between ArcGIS and other non-Esri GIS applications.

SLD to STYLE

Juan_JoséAlonso — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 23:47:55 GMT

It would be a great interoperability improvement to be able to import SLD styles into *.style files and vice versa.

I agree this would be really usefull

I fully support this functionality. It would help the ESRI symbology to become cross-platform applicable.

Re: SLD to STYLE

LubosBelka — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 08:37:08 GMT

I fully support this functionality. It would help to exploit an external symbology coming from other
applications often open-source.

This is crucial for ESRI to incorporate this.

Merci de bien vouloir implementer dans les versions futures cette fonctionalité

ArcGIS Pro & Online support SLD Layer-Style (Import/Export)

FloJurgeit — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 08:33:45 GMT

Support layer style definitions based on SLD-Files (Styled Layer Descriptor | OGC ) - Load AND Save. It would improve interop. with other tools and software and data from organisations like European Environment Agency.

Here is an external program that worked in the past: ArcMAP2SLD

https://wald.intevation.org/frs/?group_id=32&release_id=892

recently adapted by the developer to support .Net 3.5

In the past it worked for me, but native support is always better and really OCG compliant, which ArcGIS lack on details to my humble meaning

I have tried to create a SLD file from raster and it is not supported. Do you know how to create SLD file from raster?

There have been more than 2,500 views of this idea.

It would be fantastic if viewers could please vote to promote this idea so that it is considered for implementation by ESRI.

My department provides spatial data to the public but they are not all ESRI users.

I would also really like to provide our spatial data display to the non esri users.

An ArcGIS tool to convert my layer files to an open source SLD format would solve this.

I would prefer to not have to load other software to do this conversion.

Thanks ESRI - in anticipation!

DonaldBrown — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 20:06:18 GMT

I'm sure there are big difficulties trying to convert all the intricate stuff you can do in ESRI symbology to the SLD format. Probably impossible. However, I still want it

Don,

I highly doubt there would be big difficulties. ESRI can export to KML just fine and my guess is that KML files are somewhat similar to SLD.

This idea is linked to this idea.

@KoryKramer is this something ESRI will consider (like yesterday), there are thousands of views and when combined with the other idea over 100 votes!

Large organisations such as the FAO all want to use geonetwork\geonode and they want data with SLD style files. ArcPro should really be able to export ESRI layer styles and read SLD. To not be able to read/export SLD is simply pushing everyone towards QGIS...
