Topic: Date bands for Atlas grade mapping service please
The Atlas grade mapping service has parameters for start year, end year, border colour and fill colour to define the symbols that are mapped, but this only allows for one date band. As far as I can see, the only web service that allows multiple date bands is the Easy Map service - which allows three date bands to be defined, each with a fill and border colour for the symbols. Unfortunately I cannot use this service because my application does not allow iframes. I need the results to be an image that can be referenced via an <img src=...> HTML entry.
I don't know of an atlas that does not use at least two date classes (e.g. open and closed symbols to represent records before and after some cut date), and three is more typical these days. So could we please have the EasyMap style date band parameters available for Atlas grade maps?
By the way, the documentation page for the Atlas web service (data.nbn.org.uk/Documentation/Web_Services/Atlas_Grade_Maps/) has a link to further information about date filtering about half way down the page - but it is broken (produces a 404 error).
