NAME
ruler - measure things on the screen
SYNOPSIS
ruler
DESCRIPTION
Ruler measures things on a mux(9.1) screen. Press button 1 to sweep
out a rectangle anywhere on the screen. For each rectangle swept,
ruler displays the coordinates of the rectangle's corners (labeled down
and up), the size of the rectangle and length of its diagonal.
There is a menu on button 3. The pixels and chars items control
whether the size and diagonal are measured in units of pixels or char-
acters; stop deactivates ruler without exiting; measure reactivates
ruler.
BUGS
Character units are arbitrarily defined as the width and height of a in
the ruler layer. This may have nothing to do with character sizes in
other layers.
Ruler's menu must pop up in its own layer, perhaps far away from the
cursor.
