New Image Reference Page for Symbol Library #32

Closed ScottOppmann closed 7 years ago

ScottOppmann commented 8 years ago

Create a new HTML page that can be used to reference symbols by URL in AGOL. This HTML page will include a PNG image and the name of the symbol.

Talk to @chris-fox about how we might implement. We'd like this page to live in the repo.

You could use gh-pages branch to host it

HTML or even Markdown would be a great way to document - I think you do have the ability to direct link to these images now - for instance in KML/popup (but getting the URL isn't overly friendly so a doc'd link page would definitely help) Ex:

Sample Image Link

We were incidentally going to do something similar for the military symbols - but then someone from the community wrote a pretty amazing Node Client app (gh-pages hosted) that eliminated the need: http://kjellmf.github.io/military-symbology-explorer

If people are going to be using the symbols for production apps, then I think we need to move the symbols to the solution site and not use the github hosting server. Be nice to have a symbology html page on there and people could get the urls for an image they want to use and rely on it for mapping

@MikeMillerGIS - Good idea, we could have a nice set of pages on the solution site we could all link to. @HeatherEisan - could you think through this a bit more and come up with a prototype in the next week or so?

HeatherEisan commented 8 years ago

@ScottOppmann Yes, I'll work on a prototype within the next week or so.

Where are we on the proto?
