Re: [guide-user] Location in the Legend?

Hi Bill,

<<"defensive programming", and it occurs to me that putting the planet name
in the legend when it is not Earth, and adding a "(Jul.)" or "(Greg.)" to the
time shown in the legend when it's not the "right" one>>

If you present planet name and calendar type into the legend only when it
isn't the "right" one, your users will have to know your rule. If you always
display them, there will never be any confusion. No one will need to know the
convention you are following.

The only remaining objection might be from someone who thinks the extra info
clutters the legend. The best bet may be to display planet name and calendar
by default, but provide options for display never, or when not "right".
Options, of course, should apply separately to planet name and calendar type.

Thanks for the continued great support.
