Displays a dynamic ruler at point that can be freely moved around the buffer, for measuring and positioning text. (load "dynamic-ruler") and see the help strings for `dynamic-ruler' and `dynamic-ruler-vertical' This ruler is based on the popup-ruler by Rick Bielawski, which in turn was inspired by the one in fortran-mode but code-wise bears no resemblance. ; Installation: Put dynamic-ruler.el on your load path, add a load command to .emacs and map the main routines to convenient keystrokes. For example: (require 'dynamic-ruler) (global-set-key [f9] 'dynamic-ruler) (global-set-key [S-f9] 'dynamic-ruler-vertical) Please report any bugs!
