Setting line width according to scale

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

The best thing would be to define multiple classes for 1 layer, and use 
MINSCALE, MAXSCALE on the classes.

I don't know of any way to do some kind of automatic/proportional 
scaling, but maybe someone else knows  .....

Best regards,
Bart
