 Remarks

The units displayed in ruler scales are formed by multiplying the length of a single BaseUnit by UnitScale. Depending on how much space there is to render scale labels for current zoom level, major unit ticks are drawn at either 1, 2 or 5 units, or their multiples by 10, 100 or 1000. The number of minor ticks depends on the current zoom level and UnitDivisions.
