Adding the scale to the screenshots

[Nico99-GU]

Hi,
I saw in the discussions that someone had already proposed to add labels to the screenshots. Similarly, I thought it might be useful to see the scale in the screenshots. I don’t think anyone has suggested in the discussions.
I tried to see if I could change it in the settings and I couldn’t find it. I also tried to draw a line with the "Measure a line string" tool. But the rendering is not amazing and the length is not shown on the screenshot.

Hi, adding a scale bar to screenshots is discussed here: #573

What do you mean by "the rendering is not amazing"? Do you have an example screenshot for this?

Sorry, I didn't see the discussion already existed.

Here is an example when I draw the line myself.
By rendering I meant that there isn't the length written and the line color. I can make it work. I was just wondering if there was a way to have it directly in the screenshot without using the tool. If not, I' ll keep drawing the scale myself.

I see! If you want the line in a specific color, you would have to draw a regular line annotation. Showing the line length is basically the same issue as mentioned here. If you want to include this, I recommend that you create a regular screenshot (not with the button in BIIGLE).

Ah ok, thank you. I'll go with regular screenshots then.
