I'd like to see if anyone has ever worked with the PDF modules for Perl? Specifically, I'm looking to print a ruler (something like here:
<a href="http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers/">http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers/</a> ), but I need to adjust the spacing between ticks and put in my own numbers for the new marks.<div><br>
</div><div>Most (all?) of the examples I've found are concentrating on placing blocks of text and a couple images on the page. What I need is a way to precisely place tic marks and text next to them every so often.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any hints or code snippets? I had hoped someone would have made a generic ruler printing page, but haven't found that yet.</div><div><br></div><div>Dan</div><div><br></div><div>My use? I'm printing a custom timing tape for my 350 V8 - as luck would have it, each degree is 2mm on this flywheel. My first attempt was to print a blank cm/mm ruler, then hand print the degree numbers. I'd like something a bit more professional looking - possibly have it printed onto a brass/aluminum tape that could be affixed to the engine.<br clear="all">
