I am trying to recreate a scalebar thats part of a norwegian standard (NS3039) in QGIS.
QGIS makes these half-segments for negative values (highlighted in red in the picture below 1, but I want these half-segments for the first positive segment, as shown in the picture at the bottom 2
The original from QGIS:
The target scalebar:
Any idea how I can create this in the Print Layout in QGIS?
A very ugly solution based on csk comment about a second scale bar, but it achieves the goal and it could be no harmful in a good template.
1.- First create a scale bar with the desired lenght on the right and shape (in this case a double box). In this case lenght 5 and unit 100 m
Create a second bar, but now with length two on the right and half of the unit of the first one, in the example 50 m. The trick is to invert the colors of fill and secondary, and change front to 100% transparent
Finally, the second scale bar has to be placed on top of the first one. This is easy done with the snap that operates in the printer composer, but if not the position and size can provide full control.
You need to set the Left segments to 0, as seen in this screen shot.
