And they want the scale bar to look cool and match the appearance of their map design. Thus, an image is used so that we can have a cool looking scale bar that gives a general idea ...

Then you can adjust the number of arrays (directions ... 8, 16, etc.). In Wonderdraft you can also adjust the line width, the inner radius (do all the array lines ...

I've not worked with SVG files in OWM yet, but this happens to one I cr...
