Can anybody help?
This is a question of how to label a map window with
geographical labels:
When we have produced a map of e.g. the Northeast Atlantic with some cruise tracks from a research vessel in the Norwegian Sea, and we want to label and mark the border of the frame (mapwindow) with small tick-marks for each lattitude and longitude (maybe also with 1/2 degree tick-marks, etc.), there is no easy way to do that, if we don't want to have the grids on the map, but only the markers with appropriate labels.
There should be a macro that provide the tickmarks and the degree labels that we desire around the border of the map (mapwindow). Then when the zoom is changed etc. the macro should just re-run to get the tick-marks and lables in the right place. At the moment weI have to manually create the tick-marks and align them to the degree grid, label the degrees (done automatic), copy the the tick-marks and the degree labels to a new layer/cosmetic, and then delete the degree grid again (because we don't want the map to include the degree grid throughout the map). If this was a once affair, it would be ok, but this has to be done for every different map or different zoom.
