Absolutely anything you want upon it. Depends upon who is using it, what it is to be

used for, and what part of the world you happen to live in. Answers given on this

website can come from anywhere in the whole world who has access to a computer.

The printing industry and the Fabric industry and the timber industry and the metal

working industry all use a different type of unit marked on their rulers. Then as well

as this, some use Metric and some user Imperial measuring units. Then there are

rulers used by Foundry and Patternmaking industry which are totally different again.

Think carefully before you ask a question, if you want an intelligent answer.

=========================================

Interpreting the question literally . . .

Rulers vary widely. Examples are typically 1 to 3 inches wide, which may be described

most conveniently in inches or centimeters. Thickness is most appropriately described

in millimeters or fractions of an inch. Length varies from a few inches to a few meters,

and may be expressed in centimeters, inches, feet, or meters.
