talking about legends - how about making the default size smaller -
would that help?
I just went through a long assignment with many legends and settled
at something like
d.legend mymap at=5,50,2,5
(at=5,50,2,5 is typed into wxGUI and conveniently stays there so
I just change the name of the map and move the legend wherever
needed).
I always size the display window so that I have a white area next to
the map
and put the legend there. That way I did not have the problem that
you mention
with the scalebar.
It would be nice to have a sizing option for the scalebar too
(using at=... similar to the one for legend would work).
That way map elements could be all placed in the white area and
won't
interfere with the map image.
These are both dependent on the underlying GRASS modules, d.legend
and d.barscale.
There is no way to size d.barscale and it has limited customization.
d.legend can be sized. Right now, it initially displays at its
default size (I don't know what that is exactly). You can change
this in the legend options panel.
yes - that is what I was doing.
What I have suggested was to change the DEFAULT size of the legend to
something half the size-
That is easy enough to do in the wxpython code
it is too big and unless you figure out that
you can change the size
with at= (which most newcomers cannot) you are stuck, and for old
users it would
be just more convenient (no need to figure out what those 4 numbers
mean, I never
remember it correctly).
I agree with you that it's too big but left it at the default size
with the assumption that it was set to that size because most of the
devs wanted it that way. If others agree with us, I think making it
smaller--or at least thinner--would be an improvement.

Hi,
in the wx Map Display window if you add a scalebar, drag it to the
bottom
left, then add a raster legend, after that it is not possible to
drag the
scalebar any more, even if you reselect add scalebar from the add
overlay
menu. The legend gets dragged around instead.

What is happening is not quite what it appears. The real problem is
that both the scalebar and legend are "maps" because that is how
GRASS draws them. The invisible "maps" are the same size as the
screen. When you put both a legend and a scalebar on a real (i.e.,
visible) map and they overlay each other it is sometimes hard to
grab the underlying element. If you move the legend out of the way,
you can grab and move the scalebar.
There is probably a way to fix this but I didn't figure it out when
I first did this, and it hasn't been high enough on the priority
list to fix afterwards. What is needed is to somehow clip the
graphic of the legend and scalebar so that it closely conforms to
the element. However, this would also need to change size if the
element changes size.
