问题
How can I show a km ruler for a zoomed in section of a map, either inset in the image or as rulers on the side of the plot?
E.g. something like the 50 km bar on the side (left) or the inset in mi (right):

Here's the Cartopy scale bar function I wrote for my own use which uses simpler version of pp-mo's answer: Edit: modified code to create a new projection centred so that the scale bar is parallel to the axies for many coordinate systems, including some orthographic and larger maps, and removing the need to specify a utm system. Also added code to calculate a scale bar length if one wasn't specified.
import cartopy.crs as ccrs
import numpy as np
def scale_bar(ax, length=None, location=(0.5, 0.05), linewidth=3):
"""
ax is the axes to draw the scalebar on.
length is the length of the scalebar in km.
location is center of the scalebar in axis coordinates.
(ie. 0.5 is the middle of the plot)
linewidth is the thickness of the scalebar.
"""
#Get the limits of the axis in lat long
llx0, llx1, lly0, lly1 = ax.get_extent(ccrs.PlateCarree())
#Make tmc horizontally centred on the middle of the map,
#vertically at scale bar location
sbllx = (llx1 + llx0) / 2
sblly = lly0 + (lly1 - lly0) * location[1]
tmc = ccrs.TransverseMercator(sbllx, sblly)
#Get the extent of the plotted area in coordinates in metres
x0, x1, y0, y1 = ax.get_extent(tmc)
#Turn the specified scalebar location into coordinates in metres
sbx = x0 + (x1 - x0) * location[0]
sby = y0 + (y1 - y0) * location[1]
#Calculate a scale bar length if none has been given
#(Theres probably a more pythonic way of rounding the number but this works)
if not length:
length = (x1 - x0) / 5000 #in km
ndim = int(np.floor(np.log10(length))) #number of digits in number
length = round(length, -ndim) #round to 1sf
#Returns numbers starting with the list
def scale_number(x):
if str(x)[0] in ['1', '2', '5']: return int(x)
else: return scale_number(x - 10 ** ndim)
length = scale_number(length)
#Generate the x coordinate for the ends of the scalebar
bar_xs = [sbx - length * 500, sbx + length * 500]
#Plot the scalebar
ax.plot(bar_xs, [sby, sby], transform=tmc, color='k', linewidth=linewidth)
#Plot the scalebar label
ax.text(sbx, sby, str(length) + ' km', transform=tmc,
horizontalalignment='center', verticalalignment='bottom')
It has some limitations but is relatively simple so I hope you could see how to change it if you want something different.
Example usage:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ax = plt.axes(projection=ccrs.Mercator())
plt.title('Cyprus')
ax.set_extent([31, 35.5, 34, 36], ccrs.Geodetic())
ax.coastlines(resolution='10m')
scale_bar(ax, 100)
plt.show()

With the addition of the geodesic module in CartoPy 0.15, we can now fairly easily compute exact lengths on a map. It was a bit tricky to figure out how to find two points on a straight-on-a-map line which are the right distance-on-a-sphere apart. Once the direction on the map is specified, I perform an exponential search to find a point far enough away. I then perform a binary search to find a point close enough to the desired distance.
The scale_bar
function is simple enough, but it has a lot of options. The basic signature is scale_bar(ax, location, length)
. ax
is any CartoPy axes, location
is the position of the left-side of the bar in axes coordinates (so each coordinate is from 0 to 1), and length
is the length of the bar in kilometres. Other lengths are supported like with the metres_per_unit
and unit_name
keyword arguments.
Extra keyword arguments (like color
) are simply passed to text
and plot
. However, keyword arguments specific to text
or plot
(like family
or path_effects
) must be passed in as dictionaries through text_kwargs
and plot_kwargs
.
I've included examples of what I think are the common use cases.
Please share any questions, comments, or criticisms.

Here's a refined version of @Siyh's answer which adds:
- automatic UTM zone selection
- a buffer behind the text/bar so it shows against the background
- a North arrow

- if you don't use UTM for you axes, the bar will be drawn crooked
- the North arrow assumes north is up

I think there is no easy potted solution available for this : you must draw it out yourself using graphics elements.
Some ages ago, I wrote some adaptive code to add a scalebar to an OS grid map of arbitrary scale.
Not really what you wanted, I think, but it shows the necessary techniques:
def add_osgb_scalebar(ax, at_x=(0.1, 0.4), at_y=(0.05, 0.075), max_stripes=5):
"""

axes Y coordinates (0..1) of box (= lower, upper)
* max_stripes
typical/maximum number of black+white regions
"""
# ensure axis is an OSGB map (meaning coords are just metres)
assert isinstance(ax.projection, ccrs.OSGB)
# fetch axes coordinate mins+maxes
x0, x1 = ax.get_xlim()
y0, y1 = ax.get_ylim()
# set target rectangle in-visible-area (aka 'Axes') coordinates
ax0, ax1 = at_x
ay0, ay1 = at_y
# choose exact X points as sensible grid ticks with Axis 'ticker' helper
x_targets = [x0 + ax * (x1 - x0) for ax in (ax0, ax1)]
ll = mpl.ticker.MaxNLocator(nbins=max_stripes, steps=[1,2,4,5,10])
x_vals = ll.tick_values(*x_targets)
# grab min+max for limits
xl0, xl1 = x_vals[0], x_vals[-1]
# calculate Axes Y coordinates of box top+bottom
yl0, yl1 = [y0 + ay * (y1 - y0) for ay in [ay0, ay1]]
# calculate Axes Y distance of ticks + label margins
y_margin = (yl1-yl0)*0.25
# fill black/white 'stripes' and draw their boundaries
fill_colors = ['black', 'white']
i_color = 0
for xi0, xi1 in zip(x_vals[:-1],x_vals[1:]):
# fill region
plt.fill((xi0, xi1, xi1, xi0, xi0), (yl0, yl0, yl1, yl1, yl0),
fill_colors[i_color])
# draw boundary
plt.plot((xi0, xi1, xi1, xi0, xi0), (yl0, yl0, yl1, yl1, yl0),
'black')
i_color = 1 - i_color
# add short tick lines
for x in x_vals:
plt.plot((x, x), (yl0, yl0-y_margin), 'black')
# add a scale legend 'Km'
font_props = mfonts.FontProperties(size='medium', weight='bold')
plt.text(
0.5 * (xl0 + xl1),

plt.text(x,
yl0 - 2 * y_margin,
'{:g}'.format((x - xl0) * 0.001),
verticalalignment='top',
horizontalalignment='center',
fontproperties=font_props)
Messy though, isn't it ?
You'd think it might be possible to add some kind of 'floating Axis object' for this, to deliver an automatic self-rescaling graphic, but I couldn't work out a way of doing that (and I guess I still couldn't).
