[mapserver-users] Re: MINSCALEDENOM, MAXSCALEDENOM help/tutorial?

[Bob Basques]

I'm not sure that there is something built in for MapServer for this, but I do know that we built this capability into GeoMoose, which takes the pixel sizes into account and does the scaling on the fly at the client for any view size. 

Just click in the Scale window at the bottom right of this interface to see what I mean.  You can type in a scale or use one of the predefined ones in the list.

This got us out of a lot of those what scale is this questions.  Doesn't really help with your question directly about making a scale, but it helps with figuring out what scale a view is at.   We do work harder on the scale display in the printing tool though (which now that I look, is not included in the external viewer list for some reason) 

Anyway, might help with how you arrive at your scale computations.  The conversion code is in one of the javascript includes.

I've figured out my issues through trial and error (and mode=map). I'm
now wondering if there's an easy way to get the scale legend to display
the SCALEDENOM directly, rather than having to guess and/or convert
units? That would be really useful.

Thanks,
