Abstract

Graphics authoring application user interface control and methods for using the same are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises: displaying, by a vector graphics application executing on a tablet, an artboard on the touch-sensitive display surface of the tablet, the artboard being a user interface for displaying vector graphic artwork of a user under control of the vector graphics application executing on the tablet; attaching one or more visual rulers to the artboard, each visual ruler of the one or more visual rules to provide a scale with markers and numbers and users interactable as graphical user interface (GUI) element; and creating one or more guides on the artboard by, at least in part, tapping a cursor positioned on one or more of the one or more rulers, the one or more guides being non-printing lines that appear over the artboard.
