<div dir="ltr">Hello James,<br><br>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><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 6:08 PM, James Klassen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:klassen.js@gmail.com" target="_blank">klassen.js@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

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>

<br>Is it possible to somehow change this to render actual scales? </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 5:33 PM, Robert R. Raiz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raizrobert@gmail.com" target="_blank">raizrobert@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<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>
