If your application needs this widget, 11feel free to use it, as the widget does work and is useful in some applications; 12it's just not of general interest. However, we are not accepting new features 13for the widget, and it will eventually move out of the GTK+ distribution. 14 15The GTKRuler widget is a base class for horizontal and vertical rulers. Rulers 16are used to show the mouse pointer's location in a window. The ruler can either 17be horizontal or vertical on the window. Within the ruler a small triangle 18indicates the location of the mouse relative to the horizontal or vertical 19ruler. See @code{<gtk-hruler>} to learn how to create a new horizontal ruler. 20See @code{<gtk-vruler>} to learn how to create a new vertical ruler. 21 22@section Usage 23@include defuns-gtkruler.xml.texi 24 25@c %end of fragment 26
