I think ill use a transparrent sheet and mark on that one. That can be lined up all along the buttom of the screen and up along one side giving high precision for all placements.
This is how I did the original. Once you have that you use the ratios to mark off the scale on the image.

Say from..
1) 0-10 = 30mm
10-20 = 28mm
20-30 = 25mm
.
.
80-90 = 25mm

You totalise the mm (say 300)
your vertical resolution is 1024

0-10 scale will be marked at (30/300) x 1024 = 102.4 pixels high
So 10 marker is at 102(103)

Now the unit scales 1,2,3,...8,9 will be marked off at every 102.4/10 = 10.24 pixels

and so on up the scale..

I'll post a picture on this, as well, later.
