Measure window

The Measure command from the Tools menu opens a window with a rich set of tools for measuring lengths, angles, perimeters and areas on the screen.
Use the measure tools to measure objects on the image, edit the results as text and then save to a separate file.

To measure on the screen:

Open the Measure dialog and choose the appropriate measuring mode (one of the six right buttons; using the button adds the coordinates of points to the measurement results).

2. Move to the document window and by pointing with the mouse; draw a measuring contour over a measured object. It is drawn with «rubber line». When creating a measuring contour use the standard WiseImage operations used for creating entities (e.g., a polyline can contain arc segments; they are drawn as arcs with SHIFT pressed). After creation the measuring contour disappears and the results of measuring are viewed in the protocol window.
3. It is possible to edit the text of the protocol and add text. By pressing the buttons on the left of the button bar, the text of the protocol can be deleted, saved and printed.
