<para>
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 horixontal 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.

All distances are in 1/72nd's of an inch. (According to Adobe thats a point, but
points are really 1/72.27 in.)
