All you need to do is to redefine legend metapost macro. Example - derived from basic scalebar definiton (just add it to your layout): code metapost def s_scalebar (expr l, units, txt) = begingroup interim warningcheck:=0; tmpl:=l / Scale * cm * units / 2; endgroup; pickup PenC; draw (-tmpl,0)--(tmpl,0); draw (-tmpl,0)--(-tmpl,2bp); draw (tmpl,0)--(tmpl,2bp); begingroup interim labeloffset:=2bp; label.top(thTEX(decimal (l) & "\thinspace" & txt),origin); label.top(thTEX("1\thinspace:\thinspace" & decimal (Scale) & "00"), origin + (0,12bp)); endgroup enddef; endcode Regards, S.

Can Therion output the scale of the map as drawn, in text? (I'd like to display this as say 1:1000, as well as the scalebar)
Thanks
