EMBED parameter

[Kieran Ames]

In the thread below, Steve states:
You MUST have a markerset defined to use embedded scalebars.
I don't understand how this would be defined. I can't point to an image that doesn't exist????
I guess the same goes for the legend image, yes?

> Does the EMBED parameter still work for legends and scalebars?  I haven't tried it with a legend, but when I add 'EMBED true' to my scalebar parameters in my .map file, I get:
