L{RulerCtrl} implements a ruler window that can be placed on top, bottom, left or right
to any wxPython widget.


Description
===========

L{RulerCtrl} implements a ruler window that can be placed on top, bottom, left or right
to any wxPython widget. It is somewhat similar to the rulers you can find in text
editors software, though not so powerful.

L{RulerCtrl} has the following characteristics:

- Can be horizontal or vertical;
- 4 built-in formats: integer, real, time and linearDB formats;
- Units (as ``cm``, ``dB``, ``inches``) can be displayed together with the label values;
- Possibility to add a number of "paragraph indicators", small arrows that point at
  the current indicator position;
- Customizable background colour, tick colour, label colour;
- Possibility to flip the ruler (i.e. changing the tick alignment);
- Changing individually the indicator colour (requires PIL at the moment);
- Different window borders are supported (``wx.STATIC_BORDER``, ``wx.SUNKEN_BORDER``,
  ``wx.DOUBLE_BORDER``, ``wx.NO_BORDER``, ``wx.RAISED_BORDER``, ``wx.SIMPLE_BORDER``);
- Logarithmic scale available;
- Possibility to draw a thin line over a selected window when moving an indicator,
  which emulates the text editors software.
  

And a lot more. See the demo for a review of the functionalities.


Usage
=====

Usage example::

    import wx
    import wx.lib.agw.rulerctrl as RC

    class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

        def __init__(self, parent):
        
            wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "RulerCtrl Demo")

            panel = wx.Panel(self)

            text = wx.TextCtrl(panel, -1, "Hello World! wxPython rules", style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)

            ruler1 = RC.RulerCtrl(panel, -1, orient=wx.HORIZONTAL, style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)
            ruler2 = RC.RulerCtrl(panel, -1, orient=wx.VERTICAL, style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)

            mainsizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
            leftsizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
            bottomleftsizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
            topsizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)

            leftsizer.Add((20, 20), 0, wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
            topsizer.Add((39, 0), 0, wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
            topsizer.Add(ruler1, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
            leftsizer.Add(topsizer, 0, wx.EXPAND, 0)

            bottomleftsizer.Add((10, 0))
            bottomleftsizer.Add(ruler2, 0, wx.EXPAND, 0)
            bottomleftsizer.Add(text, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
            leftsizer.Add(bottomleftsizer, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
            mainsizer.Add(leftsizer, 3, wx.EXPAND, 0)

            panel.SetSizer(mainsizer)

        
    # our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual

    app = wx.PySimpleApp()

    frame = MyFrame(None)
    app.SetTopWindow(frame)
    frame.Show()

    app.MainLoop()



Events
======

L{RulerCtrl} implements the following events related to indicators:

- ``EVT_INDICATOR_CHANGING``: the user is about to change the position of one indicator;
- ``EVT_INDICATOR_CHANGED``: the user has changed the position of one indicator.


Supported Platforms
===================

L{RulerCtrl} has been tested on the following platforms:
  * Windows (Windows XP);
  * Linux Ubuntu (Dapper 6.06)


Window Styles
=============

`No particular window styles are available for this class.`


Events Processing
=================

This class processes the following events:

========================== ==================================================
Event Name                 Description
========================== ==================================================
``EVT_INDICATOR_CHANGED``  The user has changed the indicator value.
``EVT_INDICATOR_CHANGING`` The user is about to change the indicator value.
========================== ==================================================


License And Version
===================

L{RulerCtrl} is distributed under the wxPython license.
