[mapserver-users] RE: Scalebar vs Numeric scale

[Steve Lime]

IMHO that numeric scale values are useless from a display perspective. You simply can't know
what an appropriate RESOLUTION value is in all cases. The numeric values are useful for turning
layers on/off etc... but that's about it.

Maybe someone better informed than me can answer. Is it possible to find out the resolution of the monitor using Javascript? Maybe you can then send the mapserv.exe CGI executable a parameter:

 

&RESOLUTION+72

 

or something.

Thanks Robert...



The problem are the resolution as you say. I add the line (RESOLUTION

96) and now the scales match.



But if a user have a diferent resolution? We can know his resolution

monitors and them change the line???
