[PATCH] scale indicator regression

Reported by: dieterdreist Owned by: team
Priority: minor Milestone: 16.06
Component: Core Version: latest
Keywords: template_report, scale indicator, scale, digits Cc: michael2402, wiktorn

Description

Strictly, it is not an actual bug, but the readability of the scale indicator has become worse recently (I think). Please see the attached screenshots.

Generally I think this could be improved with very small effort, these are my suggestions:

  1. there should be no digits below 1 for scales above 1 m (e.g. "1 m" rather than "1.00 m").
  1. the alignment of the number to the "tick" should be centered on the number without the unit
  1. consider to have the unit only on the most rightern digit and not on the intermediate ones (presuming that all units are the same on the same scale)
  1. consider using less intermediate ticks in certain cases

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

comment:1 by dieterdreist, 8 years ago

sorry, am not logged in so I have to make additional explications here.
This is how the example pictures correlate with the comments/suggestions:

scale1+2: 1+2+3+4 (in particular: don't add long ticks when there is no text for them)
scale3: 1+2+3

Currently, the long ticks are added at every full unit.

We can change the text to only be displayed on the last full tick, would this be fine?

I changed it that way:



Is it better now?

Centering and text formatting is a bit more difficult. When doing this we should also introduce localization for the numbers - they are using US format at the moment.

I think in case of more than 3 total long ticks there shouldn't be any short ticks, because it becomes too noisy.

yes, this looks better now, I would also get rid of decimal fractions (ie. "400 m" rather than "400.0 m".

Maybe the centering problem can be solved by putting the unit only on the first number ("0 m"), position this zero "manually", and it will work automatically for the other number labels (as those won't have any units attached any more).

comment:7 by michael2402, 8 years ago

I'd like to keep the unit on the second number.

We would have to rework the SOM methods that convert numbers to strings to do this in a nice way - and to solve the problem with the trailing .0.

comment:8 by dieterdreist, 8 years ago

yes, unit on the second (/last) number seems better.
