I don't think I saw any replies to this. So... let's see. It looks likes it's still used for raw scalebar image
production as well. So my thought would be to:
1 - fix the docs and mark it as not being deprecated, it's still useful.
2 - expose to mapscript (e.g. $scalebar->{transparent} = $mapscript::MS_TRUE;)
