-2

I've been trying to find a windows ruler that allows to measure in percentage for a long while without success, so asking in case you know of such a software.

Basically, I just need a ruler that's vertically adjustable (ie, the length of the ruler should be variable and always 100% in its maximum length), and then if you click on any part of that ruler it should tell you the %.

Have you ever seen a programme that allows you this?

Many thanks!

  • What is it that you are wanting a percentage of? The screen? The browser? Some other app? – krowe2 Aug 07 '15 at 20:59

    The length of the ruler itself, ie, thinking of a ruler than can be made longer or shorter (and that would be always 100%), and then clicking on any part of the selected length would indicate which % that is. I need to use it on top of a PDF document, and the figures have different sizes, hence that the length of the ruler needs to be adjustable. – mickael Aug 07 '15 at 21:02
  • On a side note, wondering why someone has voted the question as -1, if they think this is a stupid question because they know the answer, at least they could have helped! :( – mickael Aug 08 '15 at 21:02

I have made a simple ruler tool that can be downloaded here. The source code can be downloaded here.

  • Hey man, this is sooooooooooo helpful!!!! Thank you so much, much appreciated! Could you please upload another version that allows to measure starting from the bottom? ie, with 0% at the bottom and 100% at the top? – mickael Aug 08 '15 at 20:57
  • @mickael No problem, and if you know vb.net, i can give you the source code – geek1011 Aug 08 '15 at 22:42

  • +1 for source. Without that I'd never suggest that someone use something like this though. – krowe2 Aug 10 '15 at 13:49
