  - computeViewScale
```
public static double computeViewScale(IlvManagerView view)
```
    Utility to compute the view scale, i.e. the ratio between centimeters on the screen and centimeters in the real world. For example a ratio of 10000 means 1cm on screen is 10000cm (100m) on the ground. Measurement is taken on the horizontal median of the view using the coordinate system of the view manager.
    
    Parameters:
    
    view - The view for which to compute the ratio.
    
    Returns:
    
    The ratio (or 0 if parameters are incorrect, such as null view, a view with no coordinate system or a 0 sized view).

```
    Returns the resource string for this key. This method internally fills a HashMap of ResourceBundle classes, for each package known.
    For example, using getString(ilog.views.maps.IlvMapUtil.class,"IlvMapUtils.title") will try to locate a resource at URL ilog/views/maps/messages.properties, or any localized file at the same place. This resource bundle, if found, will be reused for each getString call for the same package.
