It would be nice to have a function that accepts a scale value and actually affects the scale of the map, so it can be used from inside a python plugin.

iface.mapCanvas().mapRenderer().setScale(double scale) only affects the value in the scale box in the bottom right corner of QGIS window.

Ignore patch.txt, because after I was able to fully test it I realized I left something out so it wasn't exposed yet. bug2717fix.diff has been tested and zoomScale is exposed and does work within Python. ((And since i know this patch works I am resolving this bug))

• resolution was changed from to fixed
