You mean the the rule has millimeters as the unit an at 1:1 zoom you want 1 millimeter of the ruler to be 1 millimeter on the screen? Then yes, you'll need some way to convert millimetres to units used on screen. Though I don't understand why you want such strict equality. You won't measure distances on the screen with a physical ruler anyway, right?
I guess a simple example would be "Word". When you print the doc, it shuld look like on the screen, right?
That doesn't mean that you should be able to hold the printed page to the monitor and see an exact match. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
