Who did it?

I spent quite a while looking for a horizontal ruler and eventually found a plugin created by someone in Japan.  It was functional but I couldn’t read the settings as they were written in Japanese.

Thank you to two people who helped make this possible, this is incredibly useful and you’ve helped many people.

Jeffery Grossman who helped translate and reupload the 32 bit version.

Also thank you to Rory Apperson for making this plugin 64 bit compatible.
