Does the capability exist in basemap to create a scale bar on the
map? If not, is this planned for the future?
For reference, see the -L option in GMT's psbasemap, pscoast, etc.
Thanks,

Jeff - That would replicate the "simple" scale-bar from GMT. Below
is my not-complete attempt at replicating the "fancy" scale bar. It
would need some options for specifying different units (miles,
nautical miles, etc.) and perhaps some more attention to spacing of
the text from the scale

Jeff - I think the way GMT does it would be okay - they have a
latitude of true scale, which I usually choose as the center latitude
of the map.
I was thinking we should allow people to choose the "simple" or
"fancy" options. Do you think it will be okay to have the height of
the bar and
Hi,
this scalebar is a really good idea!
However, I suggest that all parameters must be optional:
- The position could be by default somewhere in the lower left corner
(for example). It may be interesting to find a "best" position using
the algo of legend.
- Then length could be estimated from au
