EnhaNcement of annotations legendicon rendering

[tof]

Hi all :-)

Only a few mapfile properties of annotations layers are used for the icon legend. Can we take into consideration the other properties (background, backgroundshadow, font size, ...) of the mapfile LABEL BLOCK ?

annotation legend patch

[tbonfort]

patch to enable all label properties to be rendered for annotation layers.

for a given class, the code either renders the legend of the marker symbol if some style blocks were defined, or renders as previously the letters "Az", but with the full label styling (eg backgroundcolor, etc...)

Tamas, does this behavior suit you, or would you prefer we keep rendering the label, even if a a marker was defined?

Yes, I'm fine with this. My only intent was to replace the blank spaces in the legend with some meaningful images. I see you continue to use fixed label sizes in the legend icons which seems to be the right choice instead of taking over the actual size of the label.
