Since I could not find what I wanted, I decided to +make my own. Using the fact that there are 72.27 points/inch, I +constructed this ruler. Included you will find the ruler (ruler.eps) and +the source code (with Makefile) needed to generate this ruler from +scratch. + +To generate ruler.eps, simply type "make" (without the " "). + +Note: Since the generation of this ruler requires PiCTeX, you must have +the PiCTeX macros installed to build it. Also, I've noticed that TeX's +memory size is exceeded on my system. To fix, this simply edit the file +texmf.cnf (located in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/ on my system) and change + +main_memory = ****** + +to + +main_memory = (something large like 1000000) + +After you make this change, you'll need to run "fmtutil --all" to recreate +all format files. + +If you have any questions about this ruler, feel free to contact me. + +Troy Henderson +http://www.math.tamu.edu/~thenders +thenders@math.tamu.edu |
