Scale Bar Adornment

Bar Length

The two values are proportional: the first value is the distance on the paper map, the second value is what the first value represents as a distance on the Earth's surface. Specify the length of the scale bar to a maximum of 34 inches or 86.3 cm on the printed map.

Bar Height

Set the height of the adornment to a maximum of 44 inches or 111.76cm on the printed map.

Bar Type

Select a preset scale bar: Check Bar, Solid Bar, Line Bar, or Tick Bar.

Use Automatic Sizing

Check this check box to set a preference if automatic sizing should be "on" or "off" for new scale bars.

Add Cartographic Scale

Check this check box to include a representative fraction (RF) with the scale bar. In MapInfo Pro, a map scale that does not include distance units, such as 1:63,360 or 1:1,000,000, is called a cartographic scale.
