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.

variable value in mapfile<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>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?<BR>Something like:<BR><BR>HIGHWAY_MAX_SCALE=2000000
<BR>HIGHWAY_MIN_SCALE=90000<BR><BR>or<BR><BR>HIGHWAY_COLOR="255 250
115"<BR><BR>then be able to use something like:<BR><BR>COLOR
%HIGHWAY_COLOR% <BR><BR>in a CLASS<BR><BR><BR>That way if I decide I want to
change a color, I can change it once, and have it take affect for everywhere
else? <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR><BR>Jerl<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
