EMBED parameter

[Stephen Lime]

Um, er. Forgot to update the docs for this one. Embeding works for scalebars
at this point. The EMBED parameter is not used rather you set the STATUS
to EMBED. You MUST have a markerset defined to use embedded scalebars.
They are actually added as a symbol and rendered using the noramal marker
utilities. Here's a typical definition:

SCALEBAR
  STATUS EMBED
  LABEL
    SIZE tiny
    COLOR 0 0 0
    OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
  END
  STYLE 0
  INTERVALS 3
  SIZE 100 3
  COLOR 0 0 0
  BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  UNITS MILES
  POSITION LR
  TRANSPARENT TRUE
END # Scalebar

TRANSPARENT turns the image transparent. POSITION is similar to POSITION for labels.
Supported positions are UL,UC,UR,LL,LC,LR. Attached is an example image with an
embedded scalebar using the above definition.

Does the EMBED parameter still work for legends and scalebars?  I haven't tried it with a legend, but when I add 'EMBED true' to my scalebar parameters in my .map file, I get:

loadScalebar(): Unknown identifier. (EMBED):(67)

I don't know that I'd use it.  Just wanted to see how it looks.

Thanks,
