G'Day all,

Trying to work out how to include the scale (eg 1:25,000) [not a =
scalebar] of a map.  Is there any obvious way to do this in MapServer, =
like you can get a scalebar ??  This issue I have is I know the distance =
on the map but how do I determine the distance on the screen...

a pixel is not a standard measurement, it is dependent upon the screen =
resolution.  =20

Any suggestions !!
