scale?

[Sears, Jeremy]

Thanks for the reply Luis,
I would indeed like to see your code. 
 
>>you can use [scale] in your template file.
 
Formating aside, Im assuming that the template file need to have some extra
code inorder to subsitute [scale] with the value of the scale. Is this
assumption correct? If so, where can I find that code?
 
Thanks
Jeremy

Jeremy:
 
you can use [scale] in your template file.
 
Use some javascript to format the value of scale (like: 1:50,000 or
1:50.000). I have a small code that does this formating using a
getElementById. if you want it I can mail it to you.
 
Regards
Luis

Hi All,
This should be an easy question, however I cant find information on it....
 
How does one display the scale of a map? Im looking to have mapserver (or
other means?) produce a scale like "1:50 000", rather than the scale bar. 
 
Thanks
Jeremy

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] setting variable value in mapfile


Hello,

I know I can easily use variables in a mapfile, when the value comes from
cookies or a GET request.  But what about setting a variable inside the
mapfile itself?
Something like:

HIGHWAY_MAX_SCALE=2000000 
HIGHWAY_MIN_SCALE=90000

or

HIGHWAY_COLOR="255 250 115"

then be able to use something like:

COLOR  %HIGHWAY_COLOR% 

in a CLASS


That way if I decide I want to change a color, I can change it once, and
have it take affect for everywhere else? 

Thanks,


Jerl
