The checker broard is mainly intended as a photo target, though moving your head in and out shows interesting perception distortions. ==Goals== *Provide an accessible tool to measure screen-sized objects. *Encourage length/area measurement, counting. ==Collaboration== None direct. Intended as a supporting tool for exploring the world. =Visual Design= ==Screenshots== From Ruler-1.xo<br/> [[Image:Activity Rule screenshot 1.png|200px]] [[Image:Activity Rule screenshot 2.png|200px]] [[Image:Activity Rule screenshot 3.png|200px]] [[Image:Activity Rule screenshot 4.png|200px]] =Development= Todo: *There are several good suggestions in Talk, which should be implemented. *Button selection should change when clicked on (pretty, but lower priority than adding content). *Missing priority po files: fr. ==Status== ==[[Talk:Rule#Feature Requests|Feature Requests]]== ==[[Talk:Rule#Implementation Discussion|Implementation Discussion]]== ==[[Rule/Versions|Version History]]== ===Source=== <!-- http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/edukt;a=summary --> ===RPMs=== *None available zsñ =Functional Test= ==Basic== Check the size of the screen ruler with a real physical ruler. ==Secondary== Wander around measuring things with your xo. Feedback encouraged. =History= *2008-09-xx Ruler-3.xo Morgan Collett added copyright headers to create this version for G1G1'08. The activity itself is unchanged. *2007-11-29 Ruler-2.xo New name. Improved icon (by [[User:HoboPrimate|HoboPrimate]]). Initial localization (ar,de,en,es,nl,pt,ru,th). Added rules to edge of screen, and to edge of laptop. Added crufty unlabeled protractors. *2007-08-08 Renamed activity to Ruler. *2007-07-13 Rule-1.xo Considered renaming project to Ruler from Rule. Haven't yet. People don't like the current name. And as this is more of a tool than an "activity", we could stop bending over backwards to follow HIG naming guidelines that a verb be used. This might also simplify translation. Though "rule" is more applicable to the grids than "ruler" is. Blech.
