Kepler Symbology

This is version 9. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.

This is the place to discuss kepler symbology during the re-design process. I've laid the foundation for reducing the number of vastly different symbols into a more unified, easier to remember and easier to recognize set. However, this is a minimal set and will need to be expanded but the goal is still to keep to a small set of simple symbols that use a limited color set.

Please see the recent proposed Kepler redesign.

The usability objectives regarding symbology as listed in the proposed re-design are:

• Use a limited number of symbols/shapes.
• Use simple shapes.
• Use standard/known symbols or ones that are easily learned.
• Add some uniformity.
