Change the height of these lines to 30px. Therefore, starting from the left, hold down Shift and click on the 2nd - 5th lines, and also the 7th - 10th lines. We want to have 50px lines at the start, middle and end, but the in-between lines should be shorter. Fig 1: The basic scaleĬlick the lines generated by interpolate and ungroup them. Set the number of interpolation steps to 9, then click apply. The top of the vertical line should snap to the left edge of the horizontal line.ĭuplicate the vertical line and snap it to the right side of the horizontal line.Ĭlick both vertical lines, then go to Extensions > Generate from Path > Interpolate. Snap this line onto the left end of your vertical line. In my case, I'm going for a width of 450px to represent 10 miles.ĭraw a vertical line. The width of the line should be the overall length of the scale you're showing, so you might need to adjust the size of it. I'm going with a scale of 10 miles for mine, as that suits the approximate island size I had in my head, but you might need to adjust the measurements to suit your map.įor all the lines we create below, the stroke size should be 4px, and stroke colour #654f45ff.ĭraw a horizontal line. We're going to create a very simple scale for the map. Part Fourteen - Adding texture and finishing up.
