+ +&FDLNotice; + + +2001 +&Lauri.Watts; + + +2005-12-10 +3.5 + + + + + +&kruler; can be used to measure objects on the screen. + + + + +KDE +KRuler +kdegraphics + + +
+ + +Introduction + +&kruler; is a very simple application, with only one aim in life. To +measure distances on your screen. + +To start &kruler;, choose Graphics +More Applications +KDE Screen Ruler from your +K menu. + +Clicking with the &LMB; on the &kruler; will turn the cursor to a cross +with four arrows and enables you to drag &kruler; around the screen. + +When you move the mouse over &kruler;, your cursor will turn into an +elongated arrow, with a circle at one end. As you move the cursor, &kruler; will +display how far from the point marked 0 the circle on the +end of the cursor currently is. &kruler; will also display the +&HTML; color code of the color currently under the circle. +This is very useful for picking out colors from an image. If you move the +mouse far enough that the arrow cursor is no longer touching &kruler;, the +cursor will revert to normal, allowing you to carry on working with your other +applications. + +You can change the orientation using the context menu, described in the +next chapter. + + + + +Menu Reference + +Clicking with the &RMB; on the ruler will pop up a context menu, with the +following entries: + + + + + +Orientation + + + +This submenu contains entries that allow you to change the orientation of +&kruler; + + + + + + +N + +Orientation +North + + + +Turns &kruler; so the ruler is horizontal, and the measurements are on the +top (North) of the ruler + + + + + + +E + +Orientation +East + + + +Turns &kruler; so the ruler is vertical, and the measurements are on the +right (East) of the ruler + + + + + + +S + +Orientation +South + + + +Turns &kruler; so the ruler is horizontal, and the measurements are on the +bottom (South) of the ruler + + + + + + +W + +Orientation +West + + + +Turns &kruler; so the ruler is vertical, and the measurements are on the +left (West) of the ruler + + + + + + +R + +Orientation +Turn Right + + + +Turns the ruler 90 Degrees to the right. For example, if it is oriented +South, it will rotate to be oriented West. + + + + + + +L + +Orientation +Turn Left + + + +Turns the ruler 90 Degrees to the left. For example, if it is oriented +West, it will rotate to be oriented South. + + + + + + + + +Length + + + +This submenu contains entries that allow you to change the length of +&kruler; + + + + +&Ctrl; +S + +Length +Short + + + +Makes &kruler; short - about 385 pixels long. + + + + + + +&Ctrl;M + +Length +Medium + + + +Makes &kruler; a medium length - about 640 pixels long. + + + + + + +&Ctrl;T + +Length +Tall + + + +Makes &kruler; long - about 960 pixels in length. + + + + + + +&Ctrl;F + +Length +Full Screen Width + + + +Makes &kruler; the same size as your screen width. + + + + + + + + + +&Ctrl;C + +Choose Color... + + + +Displays the standard &kde; color picker dialog, where you can choose the +background color for &kruler;. + + + + + + + +F + +Choose Font... + + + +Displays the standard &kde; font dialog where you can choose the font for +&kruler;. + + + + + + +Help + + + +&help.menu.documentation; + + + + + + + + + +&Ctrl;Q + +Quit + + + +Quits &kruler; + + + + + + + +Credits and Licenses + +&kruler; + +Copyright 2000, 2001 Till Krech till@snafu.de + +Thanks to Gunnstein Lye gl@ez.no for the initial port to +&kde; 2 + +Documentation Copyright &Lauri.Watts; +&Lauri.Watts.mail; + + + +&underFDL; +&underGPL; + + + + +Installation + +&install.intro.documentation; + +&install.compile.documentation; + + + +&documentation.index; +
