gnocl::ruler
WJG (22/05/09) The Gtk Widget is a legacy of the GIMP image processing package and so, as expected, there are a few legacy widgets which need to be implemented in Gnocl to claim the status of complete support. One of these is the creation of horizontal and vertical rulers to be used in conjuction with drawing objects for editing purposes. Here's a sample screenshot and the test script.
