<script src="node_modules/ruler.js//dist/ruler.min.js"></script>

##Getting Started

var myRuler = new ruler({
        container: document.querySelector('#stage'),// reference to DOM element to apply rulers on
        rulerHeight: 15, // thickness of ruler
        fontFamily: 'arial',// font for points
        fontSize: '7px', 
        strokeStyle: 'black',
        lineWidth: 1,
        enableMouseTracking: true,
        enableToolTip: true
    });

Usage

myRuler.api.setPos({x:100, y:100})
/*
change the left, top, positions of the rulers
*/
myRuler.api.setScale(1.5);
/*
change the scale of the points
*/
myRuler.api.toggleRulerVisibility(true);
/*
hide/show rulers
*/
myRuler.api.toggleGuideVisibility(true);
/*
hide/show guides
*/
myRuler.api.clearGuides(true);
/*
get list of guides to store or copy
*/
myRuler.api.getGuides(); // => [{dimension: number, poxX: number: posY: number}...]
/*
set guides from a pre stored list
*/
myRuler.api.setGuides([{dimension: number, poxX: number: posY: number}...]);
/*
clear all guides
*/
myRuler.api.destory();
