[Geomoose-users] Scalebar in GM2

[CoFIS Web]

The learning by doing approach ;-) thanks.

I put MAP .. END around the whole thing and it works when being called 
directly via URL - but still no scalebar in GM. The scalebar mapfile 
referenced in the mapbook now looks like:

MAP
  TRANSPARENT  true

  OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME  'agg/png'
   DRIVER  'agg/png'
   MIMETYPE  'image/png'
   IMAGEMODE  'rgba'
   EXTENSION  'png'
   FORMATOPTION  'TRANSPARENT=TRUE'
  END  # OUTPUTFORMAT
	
  IMAGETYPE  'agg/png'
  IMAGECOLOR  255 255 255
	
  SCALEBAR
   INTERVALS  5
   UNITS  kilometers
   STATUS  embed
   POSTLABELCACHE  true
   POSITION  ul
   OUTLINECOLOR  0 0 0
   BACKGROUNDCOLOR  255 255 255

   STYLE  0

   LABEL
     COLOR  0 0 0
     OUTLINECOLOR  255 255 255
     SIZE  medium
   END  #LABEL
  END  # SCALEBAR
END  # MAP

And second, how to make the scalebar entry disappear from the layer catalog?

Thanks,
Nils
