        <p class="MsoNormal">Good morning everybody.<br>
          I don't understand how the msCalculateScale function in
          mapscale.c is implemented.<br>
          As far as I know, the scale is calculated from the relation :
          inches_in_screen / inches_in_reallity.<br>
          inches_in_screen : depend on the DPI and the width of the map;<br>
          inches_in_reality : depend on the map.extent, and the pixel
          size.<br>
          So why the "width-1" at the line 96? For me just "width" is
          more correct. Perhaps I'm wrong.<br>
          The branches 4.X have just "width" in their implementations
          (line 125).<br>
          So why the center pixel is removed from calculation?<o:p></o:p></p>
