May 11, 2022 at 9:54 comment added Paul This did the trick! degrees = (mapRectangle.getMaxX() - mapRectangle.getMinX()); Map hints = new HashMap(); hints.put("dps", 96); double scale = RendererUtilities.calculateOGCScale(mapRectangle, canvasWidth, hints);
May 11, 2022 at 8:33 comment added Paul degrees = (mapRectangle.getMaxX() - mapRectangle.getMinX()); int screenWidthInPix = mapFrame.getMapPane().getBounds().width; scale = (double) screenWidthInpix/degrees; // where shall I use pixel size??
May 11, 2022 at 7:58 comment added Paul How can I read out this scale?
May 11, 2022 at 7:39 comment added Ian Turton Geotools uses the OGC scale and pixel size of 96dpi, when you are using wgs84 the scale will be in pixels per degree so there will be no metres involved
