[PATCH #2] ambiguous scale bar rendering (de: unklare Maßstab-Skala in JOSM)

[Markus]

in JOSM ist oben links eine Massstab-Skala.
In der Mitte der Skala ist eine zoomspezifische Längenangabe.

Die Längenangabe wäre eindeutiger, wenn sie am rechten Ende der Skala stünde, und am linken Ende eine Null.

Oh well, that's true, I mixed the numbers, thanks.

Fixes scaler as proposed

[stoecker]

Attached patch produces cutted numbers for lots of zoom levels.

Fixes scaler as proposed without cutting text off; displaying "< 1 m" instead of "0 m" on high zoom

[xeen]

I'm sorry, I didn't test the patch and it didn't occur to me that the text would be cut off. I've attached a fixed version that works (and I tested this time) and also displays "< 1 m" instead of "0 m" on very high zoom levels. Unfortunately, displaying cm is not possible because of rounding errors that occur e.g. while moving the map around.

The scale texts aren't displayed centered under the left/rightmost vertical bar as this would make things overcomplicated. I found that displaying them left/right aligned suffices to make clear what is meant.
