Hi,

I'm looking into typesetting conversion tables, reference charts, scales and rulers in ConTeXt, and am wondering if anyone has done this or might have suggestions / pointers.

For instance, a Tap-Drill chart. Some examples:

Somewhat related, typesetting a ruler, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=ruler+scale+inch+mm&ia=web

I found some interesting tips here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15157/how-to-make-a-ruler

which pointed to: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/misc

specifically this file typesets some nice rulers: https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/misc/ruler.tex

Aditya posted some ConTeXt on that stackexchange page: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/15185

Checking to see if anything else might be out there.

Basically, I'm looking to typeset conversion charts, scales, etc for use in the machine shop and lab.

Cheers,

John
