Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-871:
--------------------------------------
Roger, what do you think to move this to a later 2.0.x release (or 2.1.x) ?
> Add a line number / character count ruler for use with scrolling text areas

> Key: PIVOT-871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-871
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: wtk, wtk-terra
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: ruler
> Fix For: 2.0.3
>
> Original Estimate: 72h
> Remaining Estimate: 72h
>
> The idea is to take the Ruler class that is already implemented in two of the
> tutorials and beef it up so that it can act as either a line number ruler
> (vertical orientation) or a character count ruler (horizontal orientation)
> for use with TextArea or TextPane inside a ScrollPane. It would be attached
> either as the "rowHeader" or "columnHeader" of a ScrollPane with the
> appropriate orientation.
> By selecting the same font into the ruler as is used in the TextArea or
> TextPane, presumably it would be in sync with the text. Alternatively, we
> could add row height and column width styles that would override the font
> metrics if there was a sizing problem. Will have to see once I get it
> implemented.
> There could be other possible useful styles -- again, I will have to see once
> I get it implemented what might make sense.
