I have added a new flag to d.info to print the
approximate map scale in GRASS monitor. I know that
it's not very precise, but an approximate figure
is better than nothing:Example:
d.info -s
Approximate map scale in GRASS monitor <x0> 1:11000I remember that this was removed in GRASS 5 (not by me)
as an aside/reminder/something to check here: scale calculations are
non-functional & wildly wrong in ps.map for lat/lon locations.
Not sure how far back this goes, I would be surprised if pre-GRASS 5 had this
bug, but maybe. I haven't had the chance to fire up an old version to check if
it was functional once upon a time.
Not sure if 1:xxxxxx scales are even appropriate for plate caree lat/lon.
