Description & Goals
Summary
This is a very simple Activity which provides non-interactive screen images of a ruler, cm and mm grids, and a cm checker board.
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
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.

Functional Test
Basic
Check the size of the screen ruler with a real physical ruler.
