Hi everyone,

I am new to the world of Grass and have run into a bit of a snag. I am currently trying to create a legend with multiple columns (3). I can place the legend on my map without difficulties, however the problem arises when I try and move it. Based on the map in question, I want the legend displayed on the left hand side of my map. As I alter the legend's x location (where /x/ /y/) to bring the legend closer to the left edge of the map, the spacing between the columns increases substantially (i.e. the legend seems to be maintaining a link to the right edge of the map and is just increasing the spacing between the columns so that the left edge of the legend matches the /where x /position). The problem with this is that it is not graphically appealing whatsoever.

Is there anyway that I can specify the width of the column itself so that the spacing is reduced? Or is there any way that I can remove that "link" with the right hand edge of the map so the legend moves freely along the x axis without being stretched out?

Also with regards to my scalebar. Is there any way that I can change the text of the scalebar so that the units are in km instead of metres? Right now I am using a map at a scale of 1:500 000, and I would rather my scalebar display 100 km as opposed to 100 000 metres.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
