print and legend - classes

[HugoAhlenius]

Hi,

I have a print thing for a web map that I have set up, using the print dijit and stock templates (landscape A4). Now, the dynamic webmap has a layer with a unique values (classes) symbology.

The classes display ok in the output, but not the heading (layer name), which is displayed using the legend dijit by the way.

What I want:
Building classes

• Warehouse


• Office


• Housing

Instead I get just:

• Warehouse


• Office


• Housing

Any tips?

you could include a group layer in your map service called "Building classes" and include it in the legendLayers being passed to your layoutOptions.

Yeah.... but that feels a bit like a dirty workaround - the legend dijit works fine, shouldn't it work fine in the print legend then as well?

shouldn't it work fine in the print legend?

the legend widget doesn't work "inside of" the print widget.  the print widget makes a call to generate an entirely new legend on the server and as far as i know, the legendLayer class doesn't yet incorporate an approach for specifying individual layer titles.

John, is this a defect in the print utility of ArcGIS Server?

If it is, then I might just leave it as it is and hope that it will be fixed in an upcoming patch!
