Windows digital ruler which measures in percentage?

-2

I've been trying to find a windows ruler that allows to measure in percentage for a long while without success, so asking in case you know of such a software.

Basically, I just need a ruler that's vertically adjustable (ie, the length of the ruler should be variable and always 100% in its maximum length), and then if you click on any part of that ruler it should tell you the %.

Have you ever seen a programme that allows you this?

Many thanks!

What is it that you are wanting a percentage of? The screen? The browser? Some other app? – krowe2 – 2015-08-07T20:59:35.377

2The length of the ruler itself, ie, thinking of a ruler than can be made longer or shorter (and that would be always 100%), and then clicking on any part of the selected length would indicate which % that is.

I need to use it on top of a PDF document, and the figures have different sizes, hence that the length of the ruler needs to be adjustable. – mickael – 2015-08-07T21:02:26.400

On a side note, wondering why someone has voted the question as -1, if they think this is a stupid question because they know the answer, at least they could have helped! :( – mickael – 2015-08-08T21:02:17.150

I have made a simple ruler tool that can be downloaded here. The source code can be downloaded here.

Hey man, this is sooooooooooo helpful!!!! Thank you so much, much appreciated!

Could you please upload another version that allows to measure starting from the bottom? ie, with 0% at the bottom and 100% at the top? – mickael – 2015-08-08T20:57:05.927

+1 for source. Without that I'd never suggest that someone use something like this though. – krowe2 – 2015-08-10T13:49:22.157
