[GRASS5] Monitor map scale program finished

[Markus Neteler]

Hi Eric,

after spending more time on this I have finished the
small "scale" program. Example run:

Xserver screen resolution: x:90.060942 dpi y:95.976384 dpi
Map parameters: 

 True map size:  we_meters: 5277.500000 ns_meters: 4032.500000 
 Pixel numbers used in screen: ns: 961.228802  we:1258.000000 
 Map rows: 1613  map cols: 2111

 Map height in meter: 0.271097
 Map width in meter:  0.332928

 Current map scale (note: Xserver x_res != y_res):
   y-scale: 1:14874.773747
   x-scale: 1:15851.788407


Hey, my first Xserver-related software :-)

Find attached:
 scale2.tar,gz

BTW: The Xserver x_res != y_res is really odd! I hope all the GRASS
display/measure modules take care of this. In fact the maps will be
displayed stretched always. I wasn't aware of that.

It would be great to have the map scale displayed in top line of
GRASS monitor (of course get the sockets fully working is highest
priority).

Cheers

 Markus
