Quoting Wookey <wookey@aleph1.co.uk>:
A scale taken from the overall map (properly scaled with stations) is that it is much more likely to be correct, and a typical avergae (not a value from the ends of the bell curve, which you might get using a random x-sect to scale all the others). So this seems to me to be much better (as well as much quicker).
But if you scaprs drawn in different scales? And what about rotation? I think it is difficult.
Could you get confused as to which marker is which and thusaccidentally reverse the x-sect? If so them either make them diff shapes or colours, or put them slightly to corners.
This is, why I wanted to have there an arrow - it will point from first to second marker.
for 'next two clicks place scale markers' would be best - but maybe that is not easy to code?
No idea, I need to have a look. May be adding another "RED" mode is feasible.
We have a general (and very difficult) problem of what to do about labels and sections in the presence of over/under lying passages. I am not yet sure what the answers are but there is definately much room for improvement.
Agree. S.
