Hi Jorge Tornero, Bernhard, Matthias, Nyall, All
Thanks for taking up the scalebar issue.
I agree that in most cases, the scalebar is more of an academic /
customary. It hardly gives a "true" measurement.
Users generally use that as means of comparison and not to measure the
exact distance.
IMO
Hi Richard, Matthias, All
Yes, the crash problem is gone in master (nightly built) version. Thanks a
lot for the fix. Tested it on Win 7 x64 and also Win XP x32.
Just for note, that issue is reported in v2.0.1 and v2.2 releases.
Will wait for the v2.4 release in July.
Regards
Ted

Hi Nyall,
thanks for clarification!
However I would say that even if using a projected coordinate system
(map units m) scalebars are not neccessarily accurate all over the map:
if your map covers a small area this may hold true but not if you look
at continents.

Hi Matthias,
In your mail I attached two files (not for the list). One is North
America in a Lambert Conformal Conic projection, the other one in WGS84.
Both show a grid with 10 degrees distance between parallels and meridians.

Hello all,
Sorry Matthias I didn't replied properly before to the list, I guess you
have seen my message later in the list.
Anyway, my point about this is just:
Is QGIS able to add a scalebar to a map in the units "academically
correct"? It looks like the answer is 'yes' --> COOL!!
Is QGIS
Hi Matthias,
probably this is academical...

Hi Bernhard,
I wouldn't say no sense at all. It strongly depends on the context, but
if you have for example a lesson for geography students and are

Hi,
IMHO a scale bar in degrees doesn't make sense at all apart from being
unused to readers of the map. Because one degree in latitude is always
(uhmm if I recall correctly) 110 km, in longitude this is only true for
the equator, the closer you get to the poles the less km per degree in
long
Hi, Ted, Matthias and all,
If you enable CRS transform on-the-fly, meter/feet/NM scales can be
shown in WGS84 projects.

I don't get a crash here (Linux/latest prerelease). It would be much

Hi Ted,
I'm not on Win, but if possible can you test this with latest release
candidates, see

Hi Developers
Encountered a very serious problem, looks like this issue is there in 2.x
Ways to reproduce;
1. Add a world boundary shp file in wgs84 (you can use other files too)
http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php
2. Open the print composer, add a new map
3. add scale bar
