Show support land on maps #43

Open Butcherluke opened 9 years ago

Butcherluke commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to show support land on the map?

I think it would help to show where support land is coming from, what land is being reallocated, etc. At the moment the full colour pixels are showing production land so if 1 Chautauqua is needed but only 30% of the pixels are 'coloured in' it currently relies on the user understanding that the rest of the land is used but as support. 'Colouring it in' would help explain the land use impact.

Whether or not the land is simply all 'support' or is broken into separate land uses is a different question.

Hello @Butcherluke,

I agree with you that we need to make this clear. We just discussed this with Jill briefly yesterday. It is tricky to put them on the map as we are agreeing that support can be any of the land types, but at the same time it means that we can make everything else grey but I don't like that personally.

Maybe we may need to make the report more clear, such as you need X Chautauquas for primary land and Y Chautauquas for support land! Oops blah blah...
