ABSTRACT:
Visual interfaces or program products provide user interfaces for setting tabs in a data processing system including a visual measurement ruler with a ruler or measurement scale which is laterally extendable and retractable to match a desired spatial location on the display window responsive to a user's input. The number of columns associated with the ruler remains constant whether the ruler is extended or retracted. The ruler also includes a plurality of tabs disposed at certain positions along the length of the ruler. The tabs are individually moveable along the length of the ruler corresponding to a desired tab setting and the tabs can be individually removed or added according to a user's input. The ruler is moveable over the desktop display such that a user can overlay and visually align with a selected document to define tab settings thereon.
