[added] Permit Circular Scale to be smaller

Post by photoleif »

Hi. Thanks for implementing the "Display circular scale" function a while ago. I find that I most often use it to judge sizes of objects on screen, rather than to gain a rough idea of travel distance. In that vein, would you consider permitting the scale range to go smaller than it already does? At zoom 20/20 I would find it very useful if the smallest circular scale could depict a 10 ft diameter.

Thanks

Hi,
I have added a new user setting to control the circles size and played with it, but the current size seems better for generic use.
Anyway, as soon as you get the next beta, you'll be able to add this user setting:
map.canvas.radius_ruler.screen_ratio=0.3
(which means the size can be up to 0.3 x 'Screen size'). Just put "0.1" to have circles three times smaller.

Hi. This sounds excellent! I have beta ver 2.3.4.R8138, and that seems to not use the updated user setting. What beta version do you anticipate will use this?

Thanks

It will be the next beta released. It should be available within one week.

The beta just became available, and upon upgrading I get... an awesome little circular scale! This is great. Thanks
