One of these is a magnification control that lets us magnify the ruler 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x times. That makes more accurate measurement being taken. The 2nd icon out of the total six provides transparency control. We can toggle between the transparent and non-transparent ones. Two other controls provide locking the ruler to the left or right and to resize in that direction. One of the icons lets us set the length of the ruler.
