drudisaile Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hello, and thank you in advance for any help. I am wanting to use paint.net to draw lines on an image and then measure the length of those lines. I have the ruler turned on and I see that it is showing pixel coordinates, but I need actual length (for example, comparing the length of a right femur to a left femur). The work that I am trying to do is based purely off of comparing the percentages of right vs. left, so the units don't matter. I've never used PDN before, so I'm sure there is probably something simple that I have overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 When you draw a line using the Line/Curve tool, the length is shown at the bottom in the status bar until the mouse button is released. Draw the line on a transparent layer above your background image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
