feat(layout): a publication's scale bar box the size of its bar (#1379) - #1826
layout.publication gave the scale bar's box a fixed width: 30 % of the frame, 25 mm at least ((fw * 0.3).max(25.0)). The renderer draws the bar from the box's left edge, at the roundest length within 85 % of it, so on an A4 sheet the bar often took half the box and left the rest empty. That empty part still counts when the placement looks for room: a 63 mm box over data moves, or leaks, where a 30 mm one would fit.
What changes
The box is now the narrowest one that draws the same bar as the 30 % box: the same length, unit and divisions, with its last label and 1.5 mm after it. The scale under the bar (1:2.000.000) also has to fit. The bar's length rule doesn't change; only the box around it does.
rustgis_render::layout::scale_bar_width_pt gives that width. It shares the bar's plan (bar_plan, bar_label) with the renderer, so the two can't drift apart. It checks its own answer: when no narrower box draws that bar, it keeps the wide one.
The renderer's 85 % share sets a floor: the box can't be narrower than the bar's length divided by 0.85, or the bar would come out one step shorter. That leaves up to about 15 % of the box to the right of the bar, which mostly holds the last label's right half (50 km).
Results
Espírito Santo, A4 portrait, 1:2,000,000. Before, the 63 mm box sits over Rio de Janeiro and its bar takes half of it. After, the box is 30 mm, has the same 50 km bar, and covers less of the map.
Whole sheets, before and after:
Two-column figure, before and after:
Tests
a_scale_bar_draws_the_same_in_its_narrowest_element (render): at three ground resolutions, the bar drawn in the narrowest element is pixel for pixel the one drawn in the wide element, and nothing is drawn past its edge. Miles keep their bar too; no ground resolution gives no width.
publication_layouts_fit_their_pages (engine): on every profile, the Scale Box is at most the old 30 %, the Scale Bar is as wide as its box, and the bar length is the one the 30 % box drew. At least one profile is narrower.
cargo fmt, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings and the render, map and engine tests pass locally (Windows). Two engine tests fail here for local reasons only, on main too: gdal_formats_open (needs GDAL 3.8; this machine has 3.7) and reload::wrong_geometry (the Windows error message is in Portuguese here).
Limits
The box is sized for the default scale bar that layout.publication adds (automatic units, four divisions). A bar restyled afterwards with layout.update (miles, more divisions) keeps the box it has.
The width is measured with the sans the layout draws in, as the legend is; a font with wider digits may need the box widened by hand.
…#1379)
The box was 30 % of the frame's width (25 mm at least), and the bar the
renderer draws in it often took half of that. The box is now the
narrowest that draws the same bar (length, unit, divisions), its last
label and the numeric scale included; the bar's length rule doesn't
change. It is measured again at each scale the veil tries.
rustgis_render::layout::scale_bar_width_pt gives that width, sharing the
bar's plan with the renderer.

Walkthrough
Publication layouts now size scale-bar boxes from the rendered bar and its scale text. Placement and eligible frame updates recalculate box dimensions. Tests check sizing limits, rendered scale length, element alignment, and overlap handling.
Changes: Publication scale-bar layout
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Scale-bar width calculation and rendering crates/render/src/layout.rs
The renderer shares scale-bar planning and label formatting between width calculation and drawing. It returns a narrower width only when the bar plan is preserved and the final label and padding fit. Tests compare narrow and wide renderings.
Publication layout calculates dimensions for candidate and final frame scales, then uses them for grouping, fit checks, and scale-element placement. Tests check sizing limits and scale-length preservation. The guide describes the numeric scale and its box.
Frame scale or width updates and frame zoom refit eligible unlocked scale elements. Tests check text fit, element alignment, and behavior when a refit would overlap a north arrow.

Merge Risk: Low · up to dec48
After a frame scale update, a scale box can be slightly too narrow if its text contains a token such as the layout name. This is a narrow edge case with an easy workaround, so it can be fixed before or shortly after merge.

Bug (medium confidence, ~60%): the scale box is not refreshed when the map moves at the asked scale.
The map can move without a scale change. Non-veiled moves are tried in the first pass, and the map_shift warning covers them. In that case scale == asked_scale, so this block is skipped, and the Scale surround keeps the box measured at the asked centre (line 1870). But center is now the moved centre, and the final frame and the Scale Bar are drawn with frame_camera(center, scale). Ground resolution varies with the centre (the code already accounts for that at ~2052), and the box is sized exactly at the 0.85 share (len / 0.85 * (1 + 1e-6)). So a small drop in ground resolution at the moved centre can pick the next shorter nice length, and the bar comes out shorter than the box was sized for.
Fix: move the box update out of the scale != asked_scale branch so it runs whenever the frame may have moved:
Suggested change
// The scale bar's box too: the bar a scale draws differs.
let bar_box = scale_box(ground_per_pt(s, center, scale), scale);
Also add a test: a publication where a non-veiled move happens at the asked scale, asserting the Scale Bar's length matches the one drawn at the final centre. The current test only checks the asked centre, so it can't catch this.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Applied in e900ca3: after the search, the box is measured again at the centre and scale the frame is drawn at, moved or not, so it no longer depends on which branch ran.
For the record, a move at the same scale doesn't change the ground resolution at the frame's centre: frame_camera sets res = scale × PAPER_M_PER_PT / ground_per_unit(centre), so ground_res_at is scale × PAPER_M_PER_PT at any centre. Only cam.clamp() at extreme zooms could make them differ. So no layout changes with this, and I didn't add a test for the move itself: the width it would check can't differ.

Bug (low confidence, ~40%): the overlap check measures the scale box at the asked centre, not at the candidate's centre.
tried_bar (line 1981) is computed with centred, the asked centre. But this candidate is placed at there, and the box it is finally drawn with is measured at the chosen centre. So grouped checks the group against a box that can differ from the one drawn. The difference is small in practice, but the check and the output should use the same box. Measuring it per candidate is cheap, and the tried_bar binding at line 1981 can go:
Suggested change
letSome(n) = (if veil {grouped(clip, n, here,tried_bar).map(|(i, _)| i)}else{Some(n)})else{continue};
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Applied in e900ca3: each candidate checks its group with the box measured at its own centre (there), and tried_bar is gone. As in the other thread, the width doesn't depend on the centre, so no layout changes.
Scale box is not refreshed when the map moves at the asked scale. Non-veiled moves can change the centre without changing the scale, so the box stays at the asked centre while the bar is drawn at the moved one. Because the box sits exactly on the 0.85 threshold, a small drop in ground resolution can shorten the bar by a nice step. Inline comment posted on crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2123. Confidence: medium (~60%).
The overlap check in grouped measures the scale box at the asked centre (tried_bar, line 1981), not at the candidate's centre. Inline comment posted on crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2087. Confidence: low (~40%).
Security
None found. The change is layout arithmetic and does not handle external input beyond existing command parameters.
Performance
None worth raising. scale_box runs a few times per layout (at most about five passes plus a few more), and each call does one text measurement.
Quality (minor, grouped here, not posted inline)
The comment at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1829-1832 is garbled ("at least the bar's length over the share of a box the renderer gives a bar").
In scale_box, pt is bound to PT_PER_MM, a conversion factor. The name suggests points.
BAR_INSET is documented as pixels in crates/render/src/layout.rs, but scale_bar_width_pt adds it as points. This is harmless at ppp = 1 but should be made consistent.
crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs replaces , with . by hand for the decimal comma, while the renderer has its own decimal helper. The width is effectively unchanged, but the two should share one helper.
In docs/user-guide/layouts.md, the reflowed sentence runs well past the wrap width of its neighbours.
Test coverage (not a finding on its own, but it is why the bugs above are not caught)
publication_layouts_fit_their_pages checks the box only at the asked centre. Its drawn closure compares nice_distance in metres, not the unit-resolved bar, so it does not prove the bar is the same in the layout's units.
AGENTS.md
No violations found. There are no unwrap, expect or panic calls in new non-test code. No user-visible text was added without tl!. No silent data loss. The change does not touch the background-work paths.

…engeos#1379)
Review round 1 on opengeos#1826: the box is measured again at the centre and
scale the frame ends up drawn at, moved or not, and each veiled
candidate checks its group with the box at its own centre. The
numeric scale's width comes from scale_ratio_text, which {scale} uses
too; the test compares the bar's unit and length; comment, names and
docs tidied.

Robustness (low-medium confidence, ~30%): the 1e-6 margin can be eaten by f32 rounding at export.
The box is set to exactly the bar's threshold plus 1e-6 relative. The renderer then rebuilds the width from an f32 rectangle: Rect::from_xywh(e.x * k as f32, …, e.w * k as f32). The rectangle's width is right - left, so its rounding error scales with the element's position on the page, not with its width. At 300 to 600 dpi, for a box near the right edge (x of about 3,000 to 5,000 px), that error is about 5e-4 px. On a 30 mm box (about 350 to 700 px) that is roughly 7e-7 relative, close to the 1e-6 slack. If it exceeds the slack, bar_plan drops one nice step, so a 50 km bar comes out as 20 km. The render test uses x = 0 and ppp = 1, so it can't see this.
Suggested fix: widen the margin, which costs about 0.003 mm on a 30 mm box:
Suggested change
let w = (len / BAR_SHARE*(1.0 + 1e-6)).max(f64::from(BAR_INSET) + len + half + pad_pt);
let w = (len / BAR_SHARE*(1.0 + 1e-4)).max(f64::from(BAR_INSET) + len + half + pad_pt);
It would also help to add a case to a_scale_bar_draws_the_same_in_its_narrowest_element that draws at an offset x (say 1500 px) and ppp 3, and checks that the bar matches the wide one.

Checked, not reproduced, so no change. I ran the renderer's own path on the narrowed widths: scale_bar_width_pt for 4,000 ground resolutions (0.1 to 1,000 m a point) and five widest boxes (25 to 126 mm), then each box rebuilt as the export does, Rect::from_xywh((x_mm * k) as f32, …, (w_mm * k) as f32, …), at x = 0, 100, 300 and 550 mm (an A2's right edge) and 72, 150, 300 and 600 dpi, and bar_plan on r.width() / ppp. None of the 320,000 dropped a step. At 600 dpi a box is several thousand pixels wide too, so the f32 error on its width stays well under 1e-6 of it.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Applied anyway in c11b877, as a cheap margin: 1e-4 (0.003 mm on a 30 mm box). a_scale_bar_keeps_its_bar_near_the_right_edge_at_print_density rebuilds each narrowed box as an export does, at 380 and 560 mm from the left at 300 and 600 dpi, and checks the bar is the same. The quality nits are in the same commit: the first width is a placeholder, and the per-candidate box is measured only under the veil.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Quality nit (left for the release quality pass): the box measured here is overwritten at line 2128 before anything reads the Scale surround's size. Nothing between those lines reads Surround::Scale from surrounds (size_of only covers Locator and Arrow). The first measurement is therefore a wasted call, and it could be a placeholder. Likewise, the per-candidate bar_box at line 2087 is only used under veil, so it could move inside that branch.
Rounding can drop the scale bar one step at high export density (low-medium confidence, ~30%). The narrowed box keeps only a 1e-6 relative margin over the bar's threshold. The renderer rebuilds the width from an f32 rectangle whose rounding error grows with the element's x position. Near the right edge at 300–600 dpi, that error can exceed the margin, and the bar then shrinks from 50 km to 20 km. The render test uses x = 0 and ppp = 1, so it can't catch this. Inline comment posted with a 1e-4 margin suggestion.
No other bugs found. I checked the following:
ground_res_at is independent of the centre, because frame_camera cancels ground_per_unit. The box measured at the candidate centre therefore matches the one drawn.
The final refresh at line 2128 runs unconditionally, so the earlier "moved without a scale change" concern is covered.
bar_plan, nice_distance and ScaleUnits::resolve are all monotone. Any box between the bar's width and the 30 % width therefore draws the same bar, including when the scale text is the wider element.
comma is the same value as l.decimal_comma, so the box and the {scale} text agree.
Security
None found. The change is pure layout arithmetic.
Performance
scale_box runs at most about 20 times in the search. Each call does a text measurement, which is negligible next to the map draws. No issue.
Quality (left for the release quality pass)
Line 1870 measures the scale box, but line 2128 overwrites it before anything reads it. Posted inline with the quality-sweep marker.
The per-candidate bar_box at line 2087 is only used under veil. It could move into that branch.
The engine test's drawn closure re-implements bar_plan instead of sharing it, so the two could drift. Not inline.
AGENTS.md
No violations. There are no unwrap, expect or panic calls in non-test code, and no unsafe.
The docs are updated and the PR includes before/after screenshots.
The new code adds no user-visible strings, and the format! in bar_label predates this PR.
Earlier review threads: two threads from the author's earlier review were already raised and answered in the PR. Both are addressed in the code, so I left them alone.
Change size
Compared with main (merge base 5a694b3 to PR head e900ca3).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Bug (medium confidence, ~55%): the Scale Box is sized once at publication and not re-measured when the frame's scale changes later.
The box width now depends on the scale (bar length, its last label, and the scale text 1:…). But the frame's scale can change after the layout is built, and nothing re-sizes the Scale surround then:
layout.frameZoom (frame_zoom, to view/full/selection/layer) sets center and scale directly (set_frame, ~line 3909 and 3933).
layout.update accepts "scale" for a map frame (~line 3853).
The renderer then draws the bar with bar_plan at the new ground resolution inside the old width. The last label's half-width can overflow the 1.5 mm pad the box was sized with. The scale text can also overflow the box, because text_w only added 2 mm for the old ratio text (e.g. 1:2.000.000 → 1:10.000.000). Nothing reports this.
Possible fixes: re-run scale_box in frame_zoom/update after a scale change, or document it in the Limits next to the restyle case. The PR's "Limits" section mentions only layout.update restyling, not frame scale changes.
I did not render this case, so the confidence is moderate.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in c11b877: layout.update with a frame's "scale" or "w", and layout.frameZoom, measure a publication's scale bar box again with the same function layout.publication uses (scale_box_width), from the bar's own units and divisions, so a restyled bar is measured as it is. The box keeps the side of the frame it is nearer. Only the Scale Box, Scale Bar and Scale a publication lays out together are touched: one place, one width, none locked. publication_layouts_fit_their_pages changes the frame to 1:40,000,000 and 1:1,500,000 and checks that the written scale fits in the box and that the three share one width.
Scale Box is not re-sized when the frame scale changes later (medium, ~55%). The box width now depends on scale, but layout.frameZoom (set_frame/frame_zoom) and layout.update with "scale" change the frame scale without re-measuring the Scale surround. The last label or the 1:… ratio text can then overflow the box. Posted inline at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2447. I did not render this case.
Security
None found. The new code takes numeric inputs only and uses no unwrap, expect, or indexing in non-test code. Non-finite or zero ground resolution returns None and falls back to the wide box.
Performance
Already raised in an earlier thread: bar_box is measured per candidate even when veil is false, and the author left it for the quality pass. Not re-posted.
Quality (grouped nits, left for the release quality pass)
The doc comment on BAR_LABEL_PT/BAR_INSET (render layout.rs ~1459) is garbled: "at most as many points at a pixel a point or more, which scale_bar_width_pt counts".
In a_scale_bar_draws_the_same_in_its_narrowest_element (render tests), the (78.4, 300.0) case asserts only w < 300, which is weak.
The drawn closure in the engine test re-implements bar_plan rather than calling it, so it can drift from the code under test.
The earlier wasted first scale_box call at layout.rs:1870 is already covered by a prior thread.
AGENTS.md
Compliant on crash-freedom, layering, and wasm concerns as far as the diff shows.
The scale_bar refactor keeps the same output, but the float operation order changes slightly. I see no need for action.
The Limits section in the PR body omits frame-scale changes (see the bug above).
Prior threads: 4 earlier threads on this PR. The f32 rounding concern was answered by the author with evidence, so I left it alone. The two applied fixes (refreshing the box after the search, and the per-candidate box in grouped) are present in the code. The quality nit is already raised. So 3 earlier concerns left alone, and none were re-posted.

… frame's new scale (opengeos#1379)
Reviews on opengeos#1826: the narrowed box keeps a ten-thousandth over the
bar's threshold, so an export's f32 rectangle can't pick a shorter bar
(tested near an A2 sheet's right edge at 300 and 600 dpi); and
layout.update ("scale" or "w" of the frame) and layout.frameZoom measure
a publication's scale bar box again, on the side of the frame it is
nearer, so the last label and the written scale stay inside it. The
width is one function, shared with layout.publication; the surround's
first width is a placeholder, and each veiled candidate measures its box
only under the veil.

Possible overlap after a refit (confidence ~30%).refit_scale_box widens or narrows the Scale Box, Bar and Scale in place, but nothing rechecks where they sit. The publication's placement chose the box's corner and free spot using the width it had at the time. The box can grow to 30 % of the frame, and the free-spot search can put the scale anywhere in the frame, so after a layout.update with "scale" or "w", or a layout.frameZoom, the box can land on a legend, locator or arrow placed beside it. Nothing warns about it, unlike the overlap warning publication gives. A small test would settle it: publish a profile where the scale sits next to the legend, then zoom to a scale with a wider bar, and check the rectangles. If overlap is possible, either re-run the placement or report it in the result's warnings.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in dec485f: if the box measured again would cover the legend, the locator or the north arrow, which it didn't before, it stays as it was, and a notice says so ("the scale bar's box would now cover the north arrow, so it is left as it was: run layout.publication again to place them"). publication_layouts_fit_their_pages puts the north arrow beside a narrow box, makes the box grow, and checks it stays and the notice is given.
Re-measuring the scale box after layout.update (scale/w) or layout.frameZoom can widen it into space that placement gave to a legend, locator or arrow, with no warning. Inline comment posted at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:3935. Confidence ~30%.
Security
None found. The change adds no parsing, I/O or command ingress. The new paths use clamped values and get()-style access.
Performance
None significant. The extra text measurement runs per veil candidate, but the text cache makes it cheap.
Quality (nits, left for the release quality pass)
crates/render/src/layout.rs (the a_scale_bar_keeps_its_bar_near_the_right_edge_at_print_density test) has two stacked doc comments. The first describes the other test.
publication has an unreachable _ => None arm: ElementKind::scale_bar always returns ScaleBar, so the (fw * 0.3).max(25.0) fallback is dead code. The 30 % rule now also lives in scale_box_width.
refit_scale_box finds its elements by name ("Scale Box", "Scale Bar", "Scale"), not by a link. A user-made or renamed layout with matching names and widths would be resized. Confidence ~20%.
The frame_zoom refit has no test. The new layout.update test covers only the update path.
The 0.0 placeholder width and the per-candidate box measurement were raised in earlier threads and left for the release pass. I did not re-raise them.
AGENTS.md
No violations found. The new code has no unwrap/expect/panic/unsafe, the new tests are in test modules, no new user-visible strings or dependencies were added, and the docs change is consistent with the layout behaviour.
Checked and found correct: the 0.0 placeholder is not read before the box is measured at line 2123. The box is measured at the final centre and scale. ground_res_at reduces to scale × PAPER_M_PER_PT, so the named-map lookup in refit_scale_box agrees with publication. The unit conversions in measure and width_mm match. bar_plan is shared by the renderer and the width function, and scale_bar_width_pt checks its own answer at runtime.
Earlier concerns: I left 5 existing threads alone because the code they point at is either answered or unchanged. Those are the scale-change refit (now implemented in c11b877), the move-at-same-scale case, the candidate-centre check, the f32 margin, and the placeholder quality nit.

Distinguish the sizing units in the new function signature.
ground_per_pt, scale, frame_w, and text_pt all accept f64, although they represent different quantities. Use unit newtypes for this sizing boundary so callers cannot interchange ground resolution, scale denominator, millimetres, and text points.
Based on learnings: “wrap them in newtype structs … so the type system prevents accidental mixing of semantically distinct values.”

Review comment at @crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs at line 3906:
Update scale_box_width and its callers to use distinct unit newtypes for ground resolution, scale denominator, frame width in millimetres, and text size in points, so these values cannot be interchanged accidentally. Reuse established unit types if available; otherwise define the minimal newtypes needed at this sizing boundary.

Renamed in dec485f where it is cheap: frame_w_mm, with ground_per_pt and text_pt already naming theirs. Newtypes for the units would reach well beyond this function, so they are left for the release quality pass.

Measure the actual Scale text before resizing its box.
If a user changes Scale to "Scale: {scale}", increases letterSpacing, or enables bold, this match still accepts the element. A later frame-scale update calls scale_box_width, which measures only the plain ratio with normal spacing and weight. The refit can then shrink all three elements below the displayed text width. This can undo a manual widening and make the text extend beyond Scale Box.
Either exclude customized text from automatic refitting or measure its expanded content with its actual text style.

Fixed in dec485f: the refit measures the text actually under the bar, its {scale} filled, bold when it is bold, line by line. Text spaced out (letterSpacing) or in another font isn't refitted, since the width can't be measured for it there. Tested with "Escala aproximada {scale}".
@elpidioassinaturas Thanks for the update. The refit now measures the expanded text and bold weight, and skips text with custom spacing or fonts.
One case remains: Line 3915 caps the width at widest even when the measured text is wider. If a user manually widens all three elements to fit longer text, a later frame update can shrink them below the text width again.
If the text exceeds the cap, consider leaving the box unchanged and reporting why. A regression test could cover a manually widened box with text wider than widest. I’m not marking the finding as addressed yet.

Reviews on opengeos#1826 (claude-review and CodeRabbit's first): measured again
after a frame's new scale, the scale bar box takes the width of the text
actually under the bar, its {scale} filled and bold as drawn (spaced-out
text or another font is left alone); a box that would then cover the
legend, locator or north arrow stays as it was, which is said. The
print-density test places boxes with the export's own point conversion,
the test checks the stored text after each update, and the width's
parameters name their units.

Bug (medium confidence, ~60%): the text is measured with only {scale} filled, not the other tokens the doc comment promises.
refit_scale_box's doc (line 3924) says the text is measured "its tokens filled, measured as drawn". Here text.replace("{scale}", …) is the only substitution. expand fills {date}, {time}, {map}, {crs}, {page}, {pages}, {layout}, {layers} and {center}, and publication measures them with the drawn closure ("{date}" → "0000-00-00", "{map}" → the map name, and so on). Here they are measured raw.
Failure: a Scale text of "{map} · {scale}" on a map named "Espírito Santo". The refit measures "{map} · 1:2.000.000", which is shorter than the drawn text, so the box is too narrow and the text runs past its border. Nothing is reported.
This is new: the earlier thread asked for expanded content to be measured, and the reply covers only {scale}. Either fill the tokens the way publication's drawn does (moving that helper somewhere both can call), or make the doc say only {scale} is filled and notify when other tokens are present.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Low confidence (~45%): the advice in this notice is misleading.layout.publication always appends a new layout (layouts.push at line 2486) and has no parameter for an existing one. Running it again doesn't re-place this box; it creates a second layout and leaves this one as it is. The message should say so.
Suggested change
format!("the scale bar's box would now cover the {what}, so it is left as it was: run layout.publication again to place them"),
format!("the scale bar's box would now cover the {what}, so it is left as it was: a new layout.publication places them again, in a new layout"),

Quality nit: the two doc blocks here are stacked on the wrong test. The first (/// The narrowest element for a scale bar draws the very bar…) describes a_scale_bar_draws_the_same_in_its_narrowest_element, which has no doc comment, and the second is the one for the test below it. The first block should move down to that test.
Left for the release quality pass, as the rest of the quality points in this review are.
Medium confidence (~60%): refit_scale_box measures the Scale text with only {scale} filled. Its doc comment says tokens are filled "as drawn", but {date}, {map}, {page} and the rest are measured raw, so a longer expansion can overflow the box silently. Posted inline (crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:3913). This is new: the earlier thread's reply covers only {scale}.
Low confidence (~45%): the "cover" notice tells the user to "run layout.publication again", but publication always appends a new layout (line 2486), so the existing box is not re-placed. Posted inline with a reworded suggestion (layout.rs:3963).
Low confidence (~35%): the refit's early returns for letter spacing, non-Sans fonts, locked or split elements leave the box stale with no notice. The doc comment says so, but the user is not told. Not posted; it is a deliberate skip.
Security
None found. The changes add no parsing of untrusted input and no new I/O.
Performance
Low confidence (~35%): under a veil, in_group (layout.rs:2083) calls scale_box for every candidate, and each call builds a camera and measures text. The box depends only on the scale, which the PR itself argues, so it could be computed once per scale tried. Not posted.
Quality
The doc comments on the new render tests are stacked on the wrong test (crates/render/src/layout.rs:4602). Posted inline, marked for the release quality pass.
Nit, left for the release quality pass: docs/user-guide/layouts.md around line 492 now has an overlong wrapped line.
AGENTS.md
No unwrap, expect or panic in the non-test code I read. scale_bar_width_pt guards non-finite input, and hostile widths and scales fall back to the old box. scale_box_width clamps divisions.
The engine has no tl! use, so the new notice text follows the existing plain-string convention.
Test coverage gap: the "would cover" case is tested in both directions (the notice and the box staying put). The clean refit path does not assert that no notice appears. This is a small addition for the release pass.
Prior reviews: 10 threads. I left 9 alone because they are fixed, answered, or deferred to the release pass. The 10th (the Scale text measurement) is re-raised above, with the new {date}/{map} case the reply does not cover.

Exclude scale text with unexpanded tokens from the box refit.
refit_scale_box passes the Scale text to scale_box_width. That function replaces only {scale} before it measures the text. Any other token, such as {layout}, stays as literal characters in the measurement. When the text is drawn, {layout} is replaced with the layout name. A name longer than {layout} makes the drawn text wider than the measured box, so the text can extend past the box.
The refit does not reject such text. It checks only letter spacing, font, and font name.
Skip the refit when the text contains tokens other than {scale}. The box then keeps its current width.
Suggested fix
if *letter_spacing != 0.0 || *font != FontFamily::Sans || font_name.is_some() {
return;
}
+ // Only "{scale}" is filled before measuring, so other tokens would be measured unexpanded.+ if written.replace("{scale}", "").contains('{') {+ return;+ }

A publication's scale bar box the size of its bar
Part of #1379 (item 1 of "Left to do").
The problem
layout.publicationgave the scale bar's box a fixed width: 30 % of the frame, 25 mm at least ((fw * 0.3).max(25.0)). The renderer draws the bar from the box's left edge, at the roundest length within 85 % of it, so on an A4 sheet the bar often took half the box and left the rest empty. That empty part still counts when the placement looks for room: a 63 mm box over data moves, or leaks, where a 30 mm one would fit.What changes
1:2.000.000) also has to fit. The bar's length rule doesn't change; only the box around it does.rustgis_render::layout::scale_bar_width_ptgives that width. It shares the bar's plan (bar_plan,bar_label) with the renderer, so the two can't drift apart. It checks its own answer: when no narrower box draws that bar, it keeps the wide one.The renderer's 85 % share sets a floor: the box can't be narrower than the bar's length divided by 0.85, or the bar would come out one step shorter. That leaves up to about 15 % of the box to the right of the bar, which mostly holds the last label's right half (
50 km).Results
Espírito Santo, A4 portrait, 1:2,000,000. Before, the 63 mm box sits over Rio de Janeiro and its bar takes half of it. After, the box is 30 mm, has the same 50 km bar, and covers less of the map.
