Deleting Ruler Guidelines in Jasper iReport

To delete a ruler guideline in Jasper iReport, drag the guideline off the screen: left for a vertical ruler, up for a horizontal.

In Jasper iReport, ruler guidelines are used to position elements on a report.  For example, a vertical guideline can be added that aligns a set of elements that span title, detail, and page footer.  Dragging elements like static text will snap to the guideline.

A Jasper iReport Ruler

To delete the guideline, drag the arrow icon past the zero position of the ruler.  For a vertical guideline, this is left.  For a horizontal guideline, this is up.

Some tools delete guidelines by double-clicking.  Some delete guidelines by a right-click menu operations.  Jasper iReport adds guidelines by a click on the ruler and deletes them with a drag.
