Colourise by owned/available #15

Closed harry-wood closed 12 years ago

harry-wood commented 13 years ago

I'd like to show people a more prominent obvious display of which cake slices have been taken, and which ones are available still.

Not sure exactly what the best way to do it would be. Maybe an option to flick between two different colourisation schemes (progress/available),

and/or

...a sort of hybrid colourisation might work, so show as blue if the slice is available, but show the progress red/orange/yellow/green colours for all the owned slices (This has the disadvantage that you can't indicate pre-existing mapping progress of the unclaimed available slices... ho hum)

How about making different borders for available/taken slices? I would suggest to mark taken slices with the thick border as it it done now for selected ones, and mark selected slices with an extra outline/outer glowing. Hope this can be easily done with svg.

There is a problem with emphasizing using line styles and line width. The lines are usually painted with 'common points'. Thus more fat and more solid line will hide another one.

We are just searching a good and simple way to 'emphasize' ownership using fill color/style/opacity or labels/icons inside the slice :)

Ok. added label with owner name using native OpenLayers function. But it is not good with concave poligons. It's ok for first time, but need more effort to make it better.

osmisto, if you'll be able to fill slices with textures to distinguish between available/taken slices, user names can be removed and shown when rolling over the slice with a mouse (to avoid a need to click on it to see the user name).
