PlotRuler v0.1.5

PlotRuler v0.1.5

What's new

• Arrow-key nudge — fine-tune a calibration line with left/right (X axis) or up/down (Y axis) arrows after clicking an anchor, before typing its value.
• Readout nudge + copy — in readout mode, arrows move the crosshair to an exact point and Ctrl+C copies its coordinate.
• Focus-gated keyboard hints — shortcut reminders are shown only while the overlay has focus; the Ctrl+N hint is right-aligned and spaced from the window corner.
• Version in the tray icon — the tray menu and tooltip show the running version; the menu is reordered (name/version at top, Quit at the bottom).
• Format indicator in a corner — the number-format label is pinned to the bottom-left instead of following the crosshair.
• No-tray minimize removed — on systems without a notification area the title bar shows only maximize + close.

Install

• Windows: download PlotRuler.exe and run it (Win+Alt+P toggles the overlay, Ctrl+N starts a calibration).
• Linux / macOS / other: pip install plotruler, or pip install -e . then plotruler.

Known deferral

• Wayland: the overlay's calibration model depends on global screen coordinates, which Wayland forbids by design. Use an X11 session on Linux.
