caption_attribution_description: English: A simple figure of a ruler that includes both centimetres and inches measurements.
context_page_description: A graduation is a mark used to indicate points on a visual scale.
  Linear graduation of a scale occurs on a linear measuring device, such as a rule or measuring tape using units such as inches or millimetres. The scale does not have to be straight; it can be curved, as on a protractor, but the graduations must be spaced at a constant length apart.
  Graduations can also be spaced at non-linear intervals, such as logarithmic, where the interval between them varies. Volumetric graduations, for instance on a measuring cup, can vary in scale due to the container's conical or abstract shape.

caption: A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial. It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations.
