 Since you never quite know what sort of scaling the user may have their
 browser print settings set to, the scale shown for Quick Plot really needs
 to be a scale bar, not just a number.

 Currently, all you see is something like "1:2500". But if the user is
 printing that shunk down or blown up, that scale will be incorrect (and
 they'll never know it). A bar is the only fool-proof way to know for sure
 what the scale actually is.
