How to display layer name to GetLegendGraphic request WMS service?

Question

I have a Mapping and WMS Service that I have published via ArcServer 10.3.1.

When communicating with the WMS service via a web browser, using a GetLegendGraphic Request. I am returned a graphic of my legend, such as:

In addition to this, I need the layer name at the top of the legend. Similar to what I see in my MXD:

Is there any way to get the layer name displayed when I use the GetLegendGraphic request?

Answer 1

One way of doing this is to create your own legend graphic image using software of your choice and saving this to your web server. Then you need to create a custom (external) GetCapabilities response for your WMS service and substitute the default attributes of the Style section for your Cumulative Water (bbls) layer like below:

<Style>
     <Name>default</Name>
     <Title>1</Title>
     <LegendURL 
        width="[your image width]" 
        height="[your image height]">
     <Format>[your image format one of image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif]</Format>
     <OnlineResource 
        xlink:href="[URL of your image"] 
        xlink:type="simple"/>
     </LegendURL>
</Style>
