I am brand new to QGIS (Within the last few days) so I appologize if these are ridiculously basic questions. My two questions are in creating a map in print composer. First, the easy question. Is there any way to make the scale bar in anything other than meters, feet, or DD? For example, I am showing a scale bar with 20,000 meters, which would look a lot cleaner in KM. My second question involves the legend. I am creating a raster file using the colormap option to create my own categories which contain labels. However, when I apply this, all I get is a single colorbar showing all the possible colors, for which I can label that one bar. How do I create a legend which will show each individual color used along with the label for that color? So, for example, if I say all vales from 0-20 are forrests (colorcoded green), from 21-40 are urban(colorcoded red), and 41-60 are uninhabited(colorcoded yellow), I would like to have a legend with those three colors, each containing the label for which they represent. Right now, I just get a colorbar going from blue to red. Thanks for the help.
