avoid label collision in scalebar

[Steve Lime]

Bart: There is no mechanism in place at the moment to avoid this. There
would be a couple of strategies
to employ in the C code, which one would depend on the nature of the
overlap (e.g. too many places vs.
to many intervals):

  - allow definition of a format string for labels
  - define a unit of measure hierarchy (e.g. km -> m -> cm)
  - automatically reduce the number of intervals if overlap is
detected

Just some ideas...

Hi list,
 
is there a way to avoid label collision in the scalebar?
 
Currently, when I zoom in very far, the labels overlap which makes the
scalebar unreadable.
 
Is it possible to avoid this, if so does anybody have a set of SCALEBAR
settings to share?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Best regards,
Bart
