I changed the default legend size to Helena's suggestion below. It
looks pretty good in the tests I did with Spearfish data. But it needs
folks to look at it under other circumstances too. Changed in
develbranch_6 r39277

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.

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.
