DESCRIPTION

Reglo is a versatile on-screen ruler that is perfect for 
designers, artists, webmasters, and anyone else who needs 
to handle graphics. In addition to supporting many different 
units of measurement, orientations, and ruler scales, Reglo 
has a wealth of handy features to make your job a lot easier.

Pinpoint accuracy is one of the reasons that Reglo is so useful. 
Reglo features a ruler guide, a magnifier, and one-keystroke 
positioning to the exact spot where the cursor is sitting. The 
image that is displayed in the magnifier can be copied to the 
clipboard for quick icon and graphics captures. Reglo also 
includes a color picker that enables you to look up and copy 
the color of any pixel on the desktop. Colors can also be 
displayed in a variety of commonly used formats.

With Reglo, you can make sure that your design fits where it 
should. The window-sizing tool allows you to change the size of 
other application windows so you can see how they will look on 
different screen resolutions, without having to switch to them.

Reglo can display the position, distance, angle, and color of the 
pixel under the mouse pointer. Position and distance values are 
shown in the selected unit of measurement and can simultaneously 
be translated to pixels.

On top of all that, Reglo puts an icon in the taskbar status area 
that can be used to show or hide the ruler at any time. This means 
that Reglo takes up very little space on your desktop when you're 
not using it, but it's still ready to use the instant you need it.

You will wonder how you worked without Reglo for so long.


NOTE TO FIRST TIME USERS

This application displays a small icon in the taskbar status area, 
which is the portion of the Windows taskbar that includes the clock. 
It is usually located in the lower right hand corner of the desktop.
You may invoke the application menu by right-clicking on the icon.
