Publisher's Description
From Markus Bader:
A tool to measure distances and angles on the desktop. The distances can be measured in pixel, cm, inch, points or twips and the angle in radiant or degree. The ruler is almost transparent so you can have it on the screen, while you are working with the applications below. Additionally it has a screen loupe and a RGB value window. You can also draw points, lines, rectangles, bitmaps and text as temporary objects on the screen.
Version 3.3 adds screen cutter.

"not very useful"
Version: MB-Ruler 3.3
Pros
can measure accurately in pixel units on the screen
Cons
impossible to calibrate to inches accurately; very bad user interface
Summary
seems like "almost" what i was looking for. I tried to use it to measure distances on a drawing on a .pdf file. The problem is that I could not get it calibrated accurately.
The one way, through the "options" menu, was not fine enough to calibrate to better than 0.1".
The other way, with the "scale" popup, did not work.

Too complicated. Too many things to configure. Has ads. Uses 8.9 MB memory.
Summary
I have used simpler measuring tools in the past.

"Very Cool Tool"

"Great for online maps (can set scale, measure angles, draw onscreen)."
Version: MB-Ruler 1.5
Pros
It's easy to use and allows you to set a scale. So if you're looking at a map and the legend says the scale is 2 miles per unit, you can set the scale and then estimate a distance on a map. It also measures angles and you can draw temporary items onscreen (points, lines, rectangles, and polygons).
Cons
The bottom of the tool has tick marks but does not label them. This is the only thing I like better about JR ruler, but I still use MB ruler most often.
