[ka-Map-users] Query tool question (make it resizable?)

[Clark Endrizzi]

Hmm, actually this will be trickier than I first thought...

When you zoom in it should resize the query sqaure and make it bigger based
on the zoom. That's kinda tough but I'm sure there are some functions that
would assist in this isn't there? SInce the size of the square on the mini
map change and all. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Clark
