Magic-7.3 Command Reference

#

## unmeasure

Erase ruler or measure markings inside the box.

### Usage:

> unmeasure

### Summary:

> The unmeasure command erases elements generated with either the measure command or the ruler command. If any element (line or text) of the ruler is entirely within the cursor box, the entire ruler will be erased.

### Implementation Notes:

> unmeasure is implemented as a Tcl procedure defined in the "tools" script. It makes calls to element inbox to determine which rulers should be removed, then compares this list with the list of element names, and finally calls element delete on all elements belonging to each ruler to be removed.
