RVD Symbology #114

Closed philipbaileynar closed 3 years ago

philipbaileynar commented 3 years ago

RVD business logic is now implemented. We also have lots of RVD symbology layer files that are already included with RAVE. However, the layer files refer to the old attribute fields from pyRCAT. Most of the fields names have changed now that RVD is using a GeoPackage.

Tasks Required:

  1. Walk through each of the layers referred to in the RVD business logic and assign them the symbology attribute for the appropriate layer file.
  2. Check that the layer file refers to the correct attribute field.

Note that step 2 is fiddly. Changing the attribute field that a layer refers to seems to reset the symbol classes and you have to rebuild them by scratch (annoying for RVD which has some layers with lots of symbol classes). I have not found a workaround for within ArcGIS for changing the attribute field while retaining the symbol classes.

FYI. This issue came out of the riverscapes tool to fix RVD project file.

@philipbaileynar I think Wally and I are going to discuss plans for this soon. I think he wanted to change some of the symbology in both versions anyways.
