Thanks S, Worked first try! By experiment, I think if I use base-scale, (and consequently enlarge the printed image after output) then somewhere I need to substitute base-scale for scale in the code below, but my attempts at editing it failed.

Example - derived from basic scalebar definiton (just add it to your layout): code metapost def s_scalebar (expr l, units, txt) = begingroup interim warningcheck:=0; tmpl:=l / Scale * cm * units / 2; endgroup; pickup PenC; draw (-tmpl,0)--(tmpl,0); draw (-tmpl,0)--(-tmpl,2bp); draw (tmpl,0)--(tmpl,2bp); begingroup interim labeloffset:=2bp; label.top(thTEX(decimal (l) & "\thinspace" & txt),origin); label.top(thTEX("1\thinspace:\thinspace" & decimal (Scale) & "00"), origin + (0,12bp)); endgroup enddef; endcode Regards, S.
