Hi Andrew I had a similar problem some time ago and build my own solution for that. Maybe this works for you as well. Maybe a bit complex but for me it works... I put northarrow, scalebar, legendcontent and legendsymbols into a seperate .th file (you'll find attached as examples). Inside your config file load these files (e.g. input scalebar.th) Inside your config file and within your layout definition use e.g. "copy scalebar" or "copy northarrow_mexico" to load this code into your layout. Finally use within your layout definition and between "code tex-map .... endcode": "\legendbox{x}{y}{NW}{\hsize=10 cm\centerline\scalebar}" or "\legendbox{x}{y}{NW}{\northarrow}" for positioning these parts. Additionally there are some parameters you have to define. Also within "code tex-map ... endcode": % parameter legendcontent \def\thsizexl{36} % size of cave name in map \def\thsizel{30} % size of comment in map \def\thsizem{24} % size of text in map % parameter legend symbols \def\legendsymbolswidth1{14 cm} % width of each column legend symbols \legendtextsectionsize={\size[24]} % text size of legend symbols header \legendtextsize={\size[15]} % text size of legend symbols Within the "code metapost ... endcode" part: tmpscalebar:=1.0; tmpscalenarrow:=1.0; % scale of legend symbols tmpscale:=1.0; There are some minor problems especially with the legend symbols while changing scale. I couldn't solve this so far. (Hopefully I didn't miss anything so far) hth, Torsten

Unless I'm missing something this code does not print a list of the symbols and what they are, which I think should be produced \insertlegend or \legendtitle which I should then be able to control the position on the page like I do with the north arrow and scale bar

Hi Andrew,
I've used this code from wiki with little edits.
Worked pretty well for me apart from the fact that "map image" command will no longer work properly and will require full path to image file.
