User Story: Plot hazard maps about oq-engine

[monellid]

Regarding the absolute color scaling, I would not use the range of IML values used for calculation. This range is used for hazard curve calculations and can be much larger than the range of values in the hazard map, so the resulting map would be very poorly depicted. I would rather define another key in the config file where the user specifies the range of values he wants to consider for plotting hazard map (min and max and then assume a linear scale)

[larsbutler]

Okay, we can add some new parameters to the job config to define the hazard map IML range (maybe something like HAZARD_MAP_IML_MIN and HAZARD_MAP_IML_MAX).

What restrictions should we place on these values? I imagine we need to limit the range somehow, based on the 'master' list of IMLs.

[monellid]

I think that the only limit is that values must be positive. I do not see specific reasons to introduce constrains from the 'master' IMLs. Even if the user choses a maximum value greater than the max value in the 'master' IMLs, this does not cause any particular problem. (The user may want to use a specific max value to compare against another map for instance, and this can be greater than the max value in the IMLs)

[larsbutler]

Okay, I revised the description of color scaling and added notes about the definition of hazard map min/max IML values.

This story is implemented and has been merged to master. Closing.
