No jquery!
No dependencies!

```terminal
npm install ruler.js --save
```



Then

```html

```


##Getting Started




```javascript
var myRuler = new ruler({
container: document.querySelector('#stage'),// reference to DOM element to apply rulers on
rulerHeight: 15, // thickness of ruler
fontFamily: 'arial',// font for points
fontSize: '7px',
strokeStyle: 'black',
lineWidth: 1,
enableMouseTracking: true,
enableToolTip: true
});
```
### Usage
```javascript
myRuler.api.setPos({x:100, y:100})
/*
change the left, top, positions of the rulers
*/
myRuler.api.setScale(1.5);
/*
change the scale of the points
*/
myRuler.api.toggleRulerVisibility(true);
/*

myRuler.api.toggleGuideVisibility(true);
/*
hide/show guides
*/
myRuler.api.clearGuides(true);
/*
get list of guides to store or copy

myRuler.api.getGuides(); // => [{dimension: number, poxX: number: posY: number}...]
/*
set guides from a pre stored list

myRuler.api.setGuides([{dimension: number, poxX: number: posY: number}...]);
