[Mapserver-users] Re: [Mapserver-dev] dual embedded scale bar??

[Steve Lime]

With CGI, no. You'd need MapScript. I'd create the images seperately
first
and then paste them in the image somehow, perhaps using inline
features.
That's essentially how the embedded scalebars work now anyway. Fixing
up the CGI/libmap.a to do this would be harder. If needed I would
suggest 
the following approach:

  - add a second units parameter to the scalebar object (or do
something like
    UNITS miles kilometers)
  - add a new style (STYLE=2) to mapscale.c to use the multiple units

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a dual (mi, km) embedded scale bars like 
MapQuest and Rand McNally using mapserver.  They both use bars with a 
reference distance after them like:

########## 0.5 km
######### 1500 ft

or

######## 1.0 km
########### 1.0 mi

I can get single scale bars, but not with the label in line with the 
bar like above. And the bars seem to auto range to good intervals 
depending on the scale.
