Properly implement and support color bars being served separately from the map
The WMS standard supports delivering color bars as separate image. This is supported in a very basic fashion by the MSUI, but not at all by the MSWMS. In particular in combination with multi-layering, the colorbar must be displayed separately to remain usable (currently all our colorbars are displayed at the same location).
This issue entails
- implementing support for this feature in the MSWMS backend
- properly address "nice" displaying of the colorbar in the frontend for typical use-cases (i.e. less than 3 bars)
- Revamping the existing plotting layers to use this feature.
@ReimarBauer do we have a notion of marking something as GSOC issue? I am not sure this can still be added to 2021?
Hello @joernu76 , Is this still open?
@ayeankit Yes this belongs to one of our ideas for a task during gsoc https://open-mss.github.io/develop/GSOC/color_bars_served
