ScaleBarDivisions Enumeration
Controls the number of divisions for a ScaleBar.
NuGet/Assembly: Carmenta.Engine.5.16.2.nupkg (in the CECore assembly)
Syntax
public enum ScaleBarDivisionsValues
| Value name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| One | 0 | Always one division. |
| Few | 1 | Two or three divisions. |
| Several | 2 | Three, four or five divisions. |
Remarks
When the value is Few or Several, the ScaleBar will choose the precise number of divisions automatically, depending on the current map scale and the ScaleBar.MaxLengthPixels.
When the value is One, only one numeric label will be displayed, since the zero will be omitted.
The length of one division will always be a round number; to be precise, it will be a number in the series
..., 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, ...
There is one exception: when a scale bar in miles becomes 1 mile long and shall get Several divisions, it will get four divisions of length 0.25 rather than five of length 0.2, since a mile is traditionally divided into half miles and quarter miles.
 |
The scale bars above were generated with One, Few and Several divisions, using the same value of ScaleBar.MaxLengthPixels, in a scale where a bar of the maximal pixel length would be 45 km. The first bar had to become 20 km long, since 50 km would have been too long, and since 40 length units is not an allowed length for a single division.
