<para>
-
+The GTKRuler widget is a base class for horizontal and vertical rulers. Rulers
+are used to show the mouse pointer's location in a window. The ruler can either
+be horizontal or vertical on the window. Within the ruler a small triangle
+indicates the location of the mouse relative to the horixontal or vertical
+ruler. See #GtkHRuler to learn how to create a new horizontal ruler. See
+#GtkVRuler to learn how to create a new vertical ruler.
