Is it possible to request a scalebar graphic from a mapserver WMS service?
To request a legend you can call getlegendgraphic:
http://my.host.com/cgi-bin/mapserver.cgi?map=test.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getlegendgraphic&LAYER=world_line&FORMAT=PNG
Is there something like getscalebargraphic?
Thanks in advance
Maarten

Dear Maarten,

no, the WMS specification only allows these requests:

-GetCapabilities(must)
-Getmap (must)
-getFeatureinforequest (optional)
-getlegendgraphic (optional)
-getStyle (optional)
-describelayer (optional)**

Have a look at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server

For having a scalebar you need a function in your wms-client (optionally you may set the scalebar "INIMAGE" but the
result does not look well.... )

Regards, Till
