SCALEBAR
Scalebars currently do not make use of TrueType fonts. The size of the
scalebar image is NOT known prior to rendering, so be careful not to
hard-code width and height in the <IMG> tag in the template file. Future
versions will make the image size available.
- ALIGN [left|center|right]
Defines how the scalebar is aligned within the scalebar image. Default
is center. Available in versions 5.2 and higher.
New in version 5.2.
- BACKGROUNDCOLOR [r] [g] [b]
- Color to use for scalebar background, not the image background.
- COLOR [r] [g] [b]
- Color to use for drawing all features if attribute tables are not used.
- IMAGECOLOR [r] [g] [b]
- Color to initialize the scalebar with (i.e. background).
- INTERLACE [true|false]
Should output images be interlaced? Default is [on]. This keyword is
now deprecated in favour of using the FORMATOPTION “INTERLACE=ON” line
in the OUTPUTFORMAT declaration.
Deprecated since version 4.6.
- INTERVALS [integer]
- Number of intervals to break the scalebar into. Default is 4.
- LABEL
- Signals the start of a LABEL object
- OUTLINECOLOR [r] [g] [b]
- Color to use for outlining individual intervals. Set any component
to -1 for no outline which is the default.
- POSITION [ul|uc|ur|ll|lc|lr]
- Where to place an embedded scalebar in the image. Default is lr.
- POSTLABELCACHE [true|false]
- For use with embedded scalebars only. Tells the MapServer to embed the
scalebar after all labels in the cache have been drawn. Default is false.
- SIZE [x][y]
- Size in pixels of the scalebar. Labeling is not taken into account.
- STATUS [on|off|embed]
- Is the scalebar image to be created, and if so should it be embedded into
the image? Default is off. (Please note that embedding scalebars require
that you define a markerset. In essence the scalebar becomes a custom
marker that is handled just like any other annotation.)
- STYLE [integer]
- Chooses the scalebar style. Valid styles are 0 and 1.
- TRANSPARENT [on|off]
Should the background color for the scalebar be transparent. This flag is
now deprecated in favor of declaring transparency within OUTPUTFORMAT
declarations. Default is off.
Deprecated since version 4.6.
- UNITS [feet|inches|kilometers|meters|miles]
- Output scalebar units, default is miles. Used in conjunction with the
map’s units to develop the actual graphic. Note that decimal degrees
are not valid scalebar units.
