Okay, I'll update the offset with those values. I suspect they were intended to be higher than the one I used. Thanks Yvonne for letting me know. |

This PR adds a default placement for map scales when refpoint is omitted. The scale is automatically placed in the lower-right corner of the map (+jBR+o0.5c), slightly offset from the frame.
