The choice of metric, imperial or auto is available in both the uDIG
preferences, as well as the scalebar style editor.

Key: UDIG-1495
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1495
Project: uDIG
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: visualization using map layer and style
Affects Versions: UDIG 1.2.M3
Reporter: Craig Taverner
Priority: Minor
There are two locations in the GUI for setting metric, imperial or auto (detect
from CRS). This can be confusing to the user, especially because the two
locations actually do slightly different things.
- uDIG preferences (General -> uDIG UI) is used by the DistanceTool directly to
affect the units displayed by that tool. It is also used by the scalebar when
first adding it to the map, so it's initial setting is taken from this
preference.
- Scalebar Style editor allows the user to change the choice specifically for
the scalebar. This allows for the distancetool and scalebar to have different
settings, but might be confusing to the user, if that was not their intention.
If the user sets the units in the scalebar, and then starts using the distance
tool, they might be surprised that it did not get those settings.
