Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS scale bar - fixing the width

Hi Chris,

This is a known limitation of QGIS - the graphical scalebar doesn't work well 
with changes in map scale. Version 2.10 (to be released in 1.5-2 weeks) 
addresses this issue by introducing a new option called "Fit segment width" 
(see image below) where the map units are adopted and the segment length varies 
between min/max ranges. This works very well across all map scales.

Until then you would either have to avoid the graphical scale-bar and replace 
it with a numerical one, or you have to manually adjust the scalebar after each 
change in map scale ;-(

Hi

Is there a way that I can set it so that the scale bar keeps the width on the 
page based on the actual relative width rather than keeping the width based on 
the map units? Example below the first image shows what it looks like at a 
scale of 1:1250, and the second image shows what it looks like at a scale of 
1:200 (ideally I want the scale bar to keep the same width as the second image, 
but change the map units).
