Configuration

../../../_images/scaledisplay_configuration1.png

  • Title: Title of the element. The title will be listed in Layouts and allows to distinguish between different buttons.

  • Prefix: Customizable description shown before the actual scale. The default mb.core.scaledisplay.label is rendered as Scale in the user’s language.

  • Shorten scale: If checked, scale numbers from 10,000 or higher will be shortened with a postpositioned K or M (e.g. 10,000 as 10K).

  • Position: Scale display alignment (mandatory field; default: ‘Bottom right’).
