I have written a scalebar package for LaTeX, perhaps the code will come
in useful for those writing one for Therion. Its at http://www.ctan.org
and search for 'scalebar'. or read about it directly here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/scalebar.html?action=/tools/cataloguesearch&catstring=scalebar

There is an example file there also called scalebar_examples.pdf
Rather than downloadingfrom CTAN you can access the PDF of examples
directly and have a look at it from my home pages:
http://www.speleonics.com.au/mikes/latex.html

Might save you some time in implementing a scalebar.
