If not, see . ;;; Commentary: ;; This library provides a minor mode to display a ruler in the header ;; line. It works from Emacs 21 onwards. ;; ;; You can use the mouse to change the `fill-column' `comment-column', ;; `goal-column', `window-margins' and `tab-stop-list' settings: ;; ;; [header-line (shift down-mouse-1)] set left margin end to the ruler ;; graduation where the mouse pointer is on. ;; ;; [header-line (shift down-mouse-3)] set right margin beginning to ;; the ruler graduation where the mouse pointer is on. ;; ;; [header-line down-mouse-2] Drag the `fill-column', `comment-column' ;; or `goal-column' to a ruler graduation. ;; ;; [header-line (control down-mouse-1)] add a tab stop to the ruler ;; graduation where the mouse pointer is on. ;; ;; [header-line (control down-mouse-3)] remove the tab stop at the ;; ruler graduation where the mouse pointer is on. ;; ;; [header-line (control down-mouse-2)] or M-x ;; `ruler-mode-toggle-show-tab-stops' toggle showing and visually ;; editing `tab-stop-list' setting. The `ruler-mode-show-tab-stops' ;; option controls if the ruler shows tab stops by default. ;; ;; In the ruler the character `ruler-mode-current-column-char' shows ;; the `current-column' location, `ruler-mode-fill-column-char' shows ;; the `fill-column' location, `ruler-mode-comment-column-char' shows ;; the `comment-column' location, `ruler-mode-goal-column-char' shows ;; the `goal-column' and `ruler-mode-tab-stop-char' shows tab stop ;; locations. Graduations in `window-margins' and `window-fringes' ;; areas are shown with a different foreground color. ;; ;; It is also possible to customize the following characters: ;; ;; - `ruler-mode-basic-graduation-char' character used for basic ;; graduations ('.' by default). ;; - `ruler-mode-inter-graduation-char' character used for ;; intermediate graduations ('!' by default). ;; ;; The following faces are customizable: ;; ;; - `ruler-mode-default' the ruler default face. ;; - `ruler-mode-fill-column' the face used to highlight the ;; `fill-column' character. ;; - `ruler-mode-comment-column' the face used to highlight the ;; `comment-column' character. ;; - `ruler-mode-goal-column' the face used to highlight the ;; `goal-column' character. ;; - `ruler-mode-current-column' the face used to highlight the ;; `current-column' character. ;; - `ruler-mode-tab-stop' the face used to highlight tab stop ;; characters. ;; - `ruler-mode-margins' the face used to highlight graduations ;; in the `window-margins' areas. ;; - `ruler-mode-fringes' the face used to highlight graduations ;; in the `window-fringes' areas. ;; - `ruler-mode-column-number' the face used to highlight the ;; numbered graduations. ;; ;; `ruler-mode-default' inherits from the built-in `default' face. ;; All `ruler-mode' faces inherit from `ruler-mode-default'. ;; ;; WARNING: To keep ruler graduations aligned on text columns it is ;; important to use the same font family and size for ruler and text ;; areas. ;; ;; You can override the ruler format by defining an appropriate ;; function as the buffer-local value of `ruler-mode-ruler-function'. ;; Installation ;; ;; To automatically display the ruler in specific major modes use: ;; ;; (add-hook '-hook 'ruler-mode) ;; ;;; History: ;; ;;; Code: (eval-when-compile (require 'wid-edit)) (require 'scroll-bar) (require 'fringe) (defgroup ruler-mode nil "Display a ruler in the header line." :version "22.1" :group 'convenience) (defcustom ruler-mode-show-tab-stops nil "If non-nil the ruler shows tab stop positions.
