Project: QGIS

Version: 2.10.0

Feature: Add scalebar sizing mode to fit a desired scalebar width

In previous QGIS versions it was hard to use graphical scalebars when the range of potential scales was big. The scalebar would either be quickly too wide or too narrow and one had to manually adapt the segment sizes (units per segment) after each scale change. It also meant that graphical scalebars couldn't be really used in Atlas serial printing or with QGIS server when the final map scale was unknown. With QGIS 2.10 one can now set min/max sizes for one segment length in mm and QGIS would automatically adapt the units per segment while still keeping round values.

Don't forget to also set the alignment of the scalebar, esp. if you want it to be centered or right-aligned!
