Hi all I am having a little difficulty with this. What I am aiming at is the scale bar and north arrow in the top right and comment legend and comment in bottom left(ish) so I have got to this code tex-map \def\maplayout{ \legendbox{0}{80}{nw}{ \scalebar \bigskip \northarrow } \legendbox{80}{0}{sw}{ \formattedlegend } } endcode Which works fine however as soon as I try to add /comment it either does not compile with a 256 error, or the comment does not appear. If I only have map-header 0 80 nw code tex-map \comment={Some words}{} endcode that works fine (although second set of brackets took a while to get), but not sure what use when I could use map-comment. but I cannot find a way to use it in \legendbox. any hints appreciated thanks Andrew
