offset legend measurements #151

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What should this feature enhancement do?

The feature enhancement should let the coder calibrate the true
measurements with measurements that are custom to a planet superoverlay.

i.e The true legend of the Earth will not be the true legend of another
planet superoverlayed.

Further improvement on this would be for the coder to calibrate the
geometrics of the globe.

This would allow calibration of distance measurements to be true to the
planet being superoverlayed. 

Are there any known workarounds that produce the similar results?

There are no workarounds to changing the legend.
The workaround for the globe superoverlay is to calculate the size
difference of the earth compared to a different planet and alter the
coordinates to reflect the correct measurement.

i.e. x miles on earth * x.xx = x miles on Mars
