| can't get Rulers to correctly show centimeters and inches [message #158519] |

When I call
RulerProvider.setUnits(RulerProvider.UNIT_CENTIMETERS) or
RulerProvider.setUnits(RulerProvider.UNIT_INCHES)
my horizontal and vertical rulers do not visually show Centimeters or
Inches. There is just a '0' on one end, and the rest of the ruler is
blank (white). UNIX_PIXELS works great. I added a RulerChangeListener,
and I know that notifyUnitsChanged() is being called with the new units
value. I have code identical to LogicRulerProvider in the logic
example. Why aren't my rulers rendering correctly?
Thanks.

Creating new rulers and provider everytime can be expensive. You shouldn't
have to do that.
This problem is because of a bug in RulerEditPart. RulerEditPart sets the
interval to be 100 during creation of the RulerFigure if it detects that it
is displaying pixels. However, later when you change the units to say
inches, or centimeters, it's still displaying them, but will only make a
mark at every 100 inches or centimeters.
RulerEditPart shouldn't be setting the interval and the divisions. I've
been meaning to expose RulerFigure so that clients can customize it as
desired. Please open a bug request.
