[mapserver-users] scale

[Murray, Ross]

I hate to rush anyone, given the gracious help I have received from listers.
However, I would like to see an answer to the below question soon.
Specifically, if my maps display the way I want on my monitor (1024X768) how
should I adjust maxscale when I am using a different machine (say during
presentations to be given, say this Friday)? I can change map size
programmatically without trouble but getting the scale right seems to be hit
and miss. Is it a true scale or are units like pixels per map unit invloved?

Hello,

What is "scale"?  As used in the Map File attributes, MINSCALE, etc.  How 
is scale calculated?

Thanks
John
