◆ calculate()

double QgsScaleCalculator::calculate ( const QgsRectangle mapExtent,
double  canvasWidth 
) const

Calculate the scale denominator.

Parameters
mapExtentQgsRectangle containing the current map extent
canvasWidthWidth of the map canvas in pixel (physical) units
Returns
scale denominator of current map view, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map.

◆ calculateGeographicDistance()

double QgsScaleCalculator::calculateGeographicDistance ( const QgsRectangle mapExtent) const

Calculate the distance between two points in geographic coordinates.

Used to calculate scale for map views with geographic (decimal degree) data.

Parameters
mapExtentQgsRectangle containing the current map extent
