Access information to add a WMS Legend

When adding a WMS layer NOT from capabilities, the information that would automatically be received from the capabilities document will need adding manually.

Firstly to use a legend you need to have a theme set on your layer in the SWD being served out as a WMS. Then to attain information on this legend, navigate to the capabilities document in your GeognoSIS Manager:

In the capabilities document, you will find a Legend URL section that looks similar to the following:

<LegendURL height="95" width="111">
	<Format>image/png</Format> 
	<OnlineResource xlink:href="http://[MachineNameOrIPAdress:Port]/OgcService/WMS.impl?
	service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetLegend&layers=[OverlayName]" xlink:type="simple" 
	xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> 
</LegendURL>

From this you can ascertain the Legend Image Width, Legend Image Height and the LegendURL (displayed above in red).
