--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Already have added a convenient Vertical ruler toggle to the main menu View ->
Rulers

So, Resolved Fixed.

Yes, but our statically anchored ruler widgets as implemented don't lend
themselves well to on-hover display.  Or a simple entry on the View menu?

We've needed something better...

Maybe a refactoring of the rulers to provide a contextual pop-out (size,
location and function) in a frame linked to the canvas to hold the rule
elements and layout controls.  

Could then call with mouse hover/contextual menu, or with global short-cut
key(s) [one each for vertical & horizontal].

The "ruler"(s) would be linked to corresponding position (y-axis or x-axis)
over the canvas, could be resized in length and repositioned perpendicular to
the axis being controlled to get it out of the way.

In use, movement of control widgets in the rulers would link to layout elements
on the canvas. The same layout controls (any new functions?) as are on the
existing "static" rulers.
