Ruler Style

The Ruler Style Panel provides control over the appearance of rulers. The panel is shown to the left. Detailed documentation of each parameter is available by clicking on the parameter, or you may follow the links below.

Color and Interval Markers
These parameters control the color of the ruler and the ruler text. The popup menu provides selections for Tick intervals and format.
Ruler Size
These parameters control the size of the rulers. The width of the vertical ruler and height of the horizontal ruler may be selected independently.
Ruler Outline
These parameters control the color of the border and tick mark lines. You may also adjust the "Weight" or thickness of these lines.

There is a stepper control in the upper left corner where the rulers meet. Use this stepper to select the interval for the tick marks. The stepper sequences through the various tick interval options, like quarters, tenths, or fifths. Sequence through to find the sequence that best suits your needs.

The rulers are closely related to parameters found on the Scale panel. The Scale Panel has parameters that define the origin and direction of each axis.
