[Qgis-developer] How to use setStyle in QgsComposerScaleBar Class

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Michael

It is a bug. However, as a short time workaround, I think it works if you use 
'setStyle' after 'addComposerScaleBar':

item = QgsComposerScaleBar(composition)
composerView.addComposerScaleBar(item)
item.setItemPosition(margin_left+offset_x,  margin_top+offset_y)
item.setStyle('Numeric')
item.update()


Regards,
Marco
