Re: [Qgis-user] Map Scale text in composer

[Randal Hale]

I tried almost the same thing and received a 0 also - so I thought I was 
doing it wrong. Yippee for repeatable discoveries that may or may not be 
an error.

Hi Randal:


The label expression:


[% '1 inch to ' || (to_int( $scale )/12) || ' Feet'%]


must work... but I got "1 inch to 0 Feet".  $scale help says: "This 
function is only available in some contexts and will be 0 otherwise". 
 Which contexts?

I've had this question come up several times and I've done some
digging but can't find an answer.

In map composer I can set my scale (Feet) to 1:7920 which is 1
inch to 660 Feet.

  * I can display a scale bar.
  * I can display scale text (1:7920)

Can I display  "1 inch to 660 Feet"  through use of an expression?
I've been manually typing it in and sometimes I'll change map
scale and forget to change the typed scale.
