This can be used to change the language of the map, for example. If a scalename is given, then you <em>must also specify a title</em> - there is no useful default title for non-DEFAULT scales.</p></div><div class="changes"><h3>Change History</h3><dl><dt>0.9</dt><dd>Added support for multiple SCALEs.</dd><dt>0.6</dt><dd>Added ability to change text.</dd></dl></div></div><div class="referenceentry"><h2><a name="GLOBAL_KEYSTYLE">KEYSTYLE</a></h2><div class="definition">KEYSTYLE <em class="meta">stylename</em></div><div class="definition">KEYSTYLE <em class="meta">stylename</em> <em class="meta">size</em></div><div class="definition">KEYSTYLE <em class="meta">scalename</em> <em class="meta">stylename</em></div><div class="definition">KEYSTYLE <em class="meta">scalename</em> <em class="meta">stylename</em> <em class="meta">size</em></div><div class="description"><p>Specifies the style of the key, or legend, that shows what each colour-range means.
