Description
This widget is considered too specialized/little-used for GTK+, and will be removed in GTK 3. If your application needs this widget, feel free to use it, as the widget is useful in some applications; it's just not of general interest. However, we are not accepting new features for the widget, and it will move out of the GTK+ distribution.
The GTKRuler widget is a base class for horizontal and vertical rulers. Rulers are used to show the mouse pointer's location in a window. The ruler can either be horizontal or vertical on the window. Within the ruler a small triangle indicates the location of the mouse relative to the horizontal or vertical ruler. See GtkHRuler to learn how to create a new horizontal ruler. See GtkVRuler to learn how to create a new vertical ruler.
Functions
gtk_ruler_set_metric ()
void gtk_ruler_set_metric (GtkRuler *ruler,GtkMetricType metric);
gtk_ruler_set_metric has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.
GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.
This calls the GTKMetricType to set the ruler to units defined. Available units are GTK_PIXELS, GTK_INCHES, or GTK_CENTIMETERS. The default unit of measurement is GTK_PIXELS.
gtk_ruler_set_range ()
void gtk_ruler_set_range (GtkRuler *ruler,gdouble lower,gdouble upper,gdouble position,gdouble max_size);
gtk_ruler_set_range is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
This sets the range of the ruler.
Deprecated
: 2.24: GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being
unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.
gtk_ruler_get_metric ()
GtkMetricType
gtk_ruler_get_metric (GtkRuler *ruler);
gtk_ruler_get_metric is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Gets the units used for a GtkRuler. See gtk_ruler_set_metric().
Returns
the units currently used for ruler

gtk_ruler_get_range ()
void gtk_ruler_get_range (GtkRuler *ruler,gdouble *lower,gdouble *upper,gdouble *position,gdouble *max_size);
gtk_ruler_get_range is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Retrieves values indicating the range and current position of a GtkRuler.
See gtk_ruler_set_range().

Parameters
ruler |
a GtkRuler |
|

location to store lower limit of the ruler, or |
[allow-none] |
upper |
location to store upper limit of the ruler, or |
[allow-none] |
position |
location to store the current position of the mark on the ruler, or |
[allow-none] |

Types and Values
struct GtkRuler
struct GtkRuler;
GtkRuler is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
All distances are in 1/72nd's of an inch. (According to Adobe thats a point, but points are really 1/72.27 in.)
struct GtkRulerMetric
struct GtkRulerMetric {
gchar *metric_name;
gchar *abbrev;
/* This should be points_per_unit. This is the size of the unit
* in 1/72nd's of an inch and has nothing to do with screen pixels */
gdouble pixels_per_unit;
gdouble ruler_scale[10];
gint subdivide[5]; /* five possible modes of subdivision */
};
GtkRulerMetric has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.
