scale?

[Luis Treviño Huerta]

Jeremy:

you can use [scale] in your template file.

Use some javascript to format the value of scale (like: 1:50,000 or 1:50.000). I have a small code that does this formating using a getElementById. if you want it I can mail it to you.

Regards
Luis

  Hi All,
  This should be an easy question, however I cant find information on it....

  How does one display the scale of a map? Im looking to have mapserver (or other means?) produce a scale like "1:50 000", rather than the scale bar. 

  Thanks
  Jeremy

    Hello,

    I know I can easily use variables in a mapfile, when the value comes from cookies or a GET request.  But what about setting a variable inside the mapfile itself?
    Something like:

    HIGHWAY_MAX_SCALE=2000000 
    HIGHWAY_MIN_SCALE=90000

    or

    HIGHWAY_COLOR="255 250 115"

    then be able to use something like:

    COLOR  %HIGHWAY_COLOR% 

    in a CLASS


    That way if I decide I want to change a color, I can change it once, and have it take affect for everywhere else? 

    Thanks,


    Jerl
