[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: adding scalebar to images to be downloaded

[Fawcett, David]

If you use MapServer to generate the map image, you can directly embed the scalebar in the map image at the time of creation.  
 
If not, you can just make a mode=legend call to MapServer CGI to get a legend image.

	   I see that MapServer has the scalebar utility which can be used in command line to generate a scalebar graphic. 
	 
	   so I think problem solved. If someone knows of other tools please let me know.
	   thanks,

		  hi all,
		  I have a webmapping application that generates map images to download in different formats and resolutions, with the legend and so on. You can see it in http://edit.csic.es/geo/mapviewer/edit.html or some videos http://edit.csic.es/edit_info/edit_videos.html
		
		  I wonder how I can add a scalebar to the image to be downloaded? as the images to download (ImageMagick) are processed in PHP it should be a server-side solution. 
		
		  some idea? thanks!
		  Pere Roca
