This is just a syntax of the TeX language, "\the" preceding a token
register (variable) copies its content to the output.

Solved it with lots of playing

use \the\comment

as in

\comment={\\copyright The google copyright statement}{}
  \def\maplayout{
   \legendbox{60}{10}{nw}{
   \northarrow
\bigskip
\scalebar
 \bigskip
 \the\comment

No idea why, but.

[Therion] code tex-map /comment

[Andrew Atkinson]

Hi all

I am having a little difficulty with this.

What I am aiming at is the scale bar and north arrow in the top right
and comment legend and comment in bottom left(ish)

so I have got to this

code tex-map
  \def\maplayout{
\legendbox{0}{80}{nw}{
 \scalebar
 \bigskip
 \northarrow
   }
\legendbox{80}{0}{sw}{
  \formattedlegend
}
  }
endcode

Which works fine

however as soon as I try to add /comment it either does not compile with
a 256 error, or the comment does not appear.

If I only have


map-header 0 80 nw
code tex-map
\comment={Some words}{}
endcode

that works fine (although second set of brackets took a while to get),
but not sure what use when I could use map-comment.

but I cannot find a way to use it in \legendbox.

any hints appreciated

thanks

Andrew
