[Gvsig_english] Scale information

[Marcus C. England]

Hi,

I guess maybe I wasn't clear. What I am requesting is a relative scale. 
Currently, the only scale text choice is an absolute scale ("1:25000" or 
something like that). In my business, at least, all clients request maps 
where, for example, one inch = 200 feet or one inch = 500 feet. It is 
standard on maps to show the scale, and beneath or above show the 
relative scale and the absolute scale.
