Add a color guide option for the exported image

Issue #372 new
Robert Leach created an issue

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Give the user the option to include a color guide so they can see roughly what colors represent what values when they share the image with others via export.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

  1. Bring up the export interface for any matrix

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

There's no option to include a color guide.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

An option to include a color guide in the exported image should be provided. Here's a mockup of what an exported matrix with a color guide might look like:

small_133x133.withspectrum.png

OR:

spectrumlegend.png

Note, these are possible example suggestions. Feel free to implement/improve/modify if you deem appropriate.

The way to select the legend option might look something like this:

color_legend_export_option.png

DEVELOPERS ONLY SECTION

SUGGESTED CHANGE (Pseudocode optional)

Add a checkbox to include a color guide and export pretty much what you would see in the graphic in the Colors dialog with thumbs and their values.

    Interesting that this issue had been marked 'duplicate' (according to my email) yet I can't see that it was ever marked as a duplicate in the history here...

    @hepcat72 I marked it as duplicate and realized it was an error, so I changed it back
