Solved it with lots of playing use \the\comment as in \comment={\\copyright The google copyright statement!!!!}{} \def\maplayout{ \legendbox{60}{10}{nw}{ \northarrow \bigskip \scalebar \bigskip \the\comment No idea why, but..... On 17/04/13 14:33, Andrew Atkinson wrote:

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
