Guys, is there a way for this? I've looked at logic example - the y axis is
headed downwards. Is there a way to head it upwards? I do need it. All in
all I need that ruler to show negative coordinates below and positive up.
I searched everywhere but still found nothing.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

I also need this feature but it appeared that it is feasible only with
overriding the original rulers. But they are not really overridable so you
should rewrite the RulerComposite. I wanted one more thing too: why are the
rulers shown only at the NORTH and WEST positions? And one more question:
can I override the RulerFigure so I can draw a ruler looking rather as an
axis not the ruler?

Pawel

Hi everybody!
Why does nobody answer? I mean I found a similar topic but there was no
answer as well.
Did anybody taboo this topic or what?

Pratik and myself are no longer paid to work on the GEF project. The amount
of *personal* time we can contribute is obviously going to be limited.

Hi, Randy!
Oh, right! what a big disappointment! Randy, what I am saying is that all I
need is just invert numbers on the ruler. Is that difficult to implement?

Actually it does nothing. The setUnit() method expects one of the constants
defined in RulerProvider. UNIT_CENTIMETERS, UNIT_INCHES, UNIT_PIXELS are
defined by this class, and this could be extended in your implementation.
But it does not make the ruler invertable. DPU measure is calculated using
only those constants and zoomManager object.

Thanks, Pawel and Randy!
So, at the end of the day, do I have a possibility of inverting the ruler?
At least, can I make it by just making a copy of those classes like
RulerComposite and "overloading" all the private methods? I know this is
wrong but, as I said, I do need inverting that axis.
Thanks, guys for your help.

Hi Peter,

I needed this feature too, and I have extended RulerFigure to achieve
this. The key is to overwrite the paint() method. There is a section
with a for loop almost at the end of this method and all you have to do
is inserting this line right at the beginning of the branch:
num = "" + (-Integer.parseInt(num));

Furthermore there is some work to get the extended RulerFigure being
used, like extending RulerEditPart#createFigure,
RulerEditPartFactory#createRulerEditPart. I have also adapted the method
RulerComposite#createRulerComposite to set the extended Factory.

Sure this way is not very fine, but it works for me... If you have found
a better way, please post it!

Regards, Andreas

AdamC, hi!
You see,I did it the way Andreas explained. All in all, you have to paint
your ownRulerFigure, this you should do what he said while explaning.
In RulerFigure you have to change the 287-th line:
String num = "" + (div / divsPerMajorMark) * unitsPerMajorMark;
//$NON-NLS-1$

to this

String num = "" -(div / divsPerMajorMark) * unitsPerMajorMark; //$NON-NLS-1$
