Well, yes, actually for me it is important to know that the
MINSCALE / MAXSCALE from map files will be read accordingly in
GeoMoose. I need the correspondence between them to be correct
and to be able to check the correct rendering of features.<br>
<br>
I tested today and it seems what I have in the lower right part
(GeoMoose) is not quite ok compared to what I have in the
mapfile (I am only referring to scale here);<br>
<br>
To sum up, seeing the big difference between the scales in
Chameleon and GeoMoose at the same extent, I do not understand
how this could work. To give a short eg: I have a class rendered
in the mapfile between MINSCALE 2000 and MAXSCALE 6000. How can
see this range (class) in GeoMoose if I cannot rely on the scale
in the bottom right corner.<br>
<br>
Hope I am not missing something here :)</div>

<p dir="ltr">Not really since the browsers don't accurately
report screen DPI, so traditional scales in the
interactive map are rather meaningless. The main place
the scale is important is to allow printing to a known
scale. Assuming GeoMoose's DPI matches MapServer's (and I
think it is at least close), it also helps when setting
min/max scale denominators in MapServer layers/classes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The scale reported in the interface (in the
drop down in the lower right) is a scale assuming some
nominal display DPI. (Either 72, 75 or 96 I think, but
would have to check to be sure.)</p>
<p dir="ltr">The scales parameter in the mapbook is actually
a resolution. (It is simply passed into OpenLayers to
setup the zoom levels, primarily for the popular tiled
basemaps.)</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br>
<br>
As I said in a previous post, I am trying to
replace the old Chameleon web mapping tool
with GeoMoose.<br>
<br>
Something that I did not quite understand,
is why the scales are different in these two
mapping tools if they have the same extent;<br>
<br>
So, I have an extent in the mapfile.
Chameleon is giving me a scale of 448286 and
in GeoMoose I have 1:35203<br>
<br>
Can you please tell me what am I missing? I
first thought that it has something to do
with the ground_units param (as I need the
units in feet);<br>
<br>
Thank you,<span><font color="#888888"><br>
