[mapserver-users] scalebar - control units based on scale?

Hello, Is there a way to use the current scale to control the units used on the scalebar? For example I would like the scalebar to display * 100 feet instead of .019 miles when I am zoomed in * 12 miles instead of 63000 feet when I am zoomed out Mark Volz GIS

Hi Mark: There's no easy way in MapServer. The way I'd do it would be to intervene on the client side and change calls to MapServer to use scalebar units in feet instead of miles once you cross a scale threshold. You can do that by appending map.scalebar=units%20feet to the URLs. Steve Mark
