Improve grid line labels in farm designer

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

The grid line labels (100, 200, etc) should be legible at all zoom levels

Actual Behavior

At 0.75 zoom and farther out the labels are too small to easily read.

Suggested Solution

  • Scale the labels inversely to zoom level so they always stay the same size to the user, despite zoom level
  • At zoom level 0.5 and farther out switch from labels every 100mm to every 200mm
  • At zoom level 0.2 and farther out only show labels every 500mm
  • I think a good size for the text might be where the bounding box rendered on screen is 16 to 18px tall. This might take some tweaking to look good.
  • There may be some legibility issues with the labels on the left if when they stretch into the darker brown or even gray areas, which may require tweaking. Ideas: adding a text-shadow, making the font bolder or darker in color.
