GIS: Icons for values/thematic layers

Hello

Earlier, the GIS module allowed thematic layers to display icons instead of colors based on the value of a data element, but this seems to have been removed?

We had this highly experimental thing called centroid layer where an image was placed in the “center” of the polygon reflecting the data value. It was never really production ready.

I think that would still be a great feature to have, as it allows you to compare two indicators for the same layer, one as polygons and one as symbols. In the future, nvd3 could even allow small bar charts or pie charts to show up in those centroids. Or icon based legends (icons based on values), as we also had for a while?

Slight edit: Icons would be nice, but perhaps more usefil would be just centroid circles with size according to the indicator value in each district. But then we would also need a legend for size, not just color.
