software to measure length on screen
I need to extract y-data from a graph in pdf file. Thinking of using
the mouse to click the end points to return me the distance. Is there a software for this? |
Hi...
You didn't mention which distribution and version of Linux you're using but you can try ScreenRuler. It might be available in your distribution's repositories. :) Regards... |
Found screenruler on web. But I tried to yum install on Centos 6.6 but there seems none. :( Thanks.

It might be found in another repository. Which ones do you have enabled? Also, I found a "tarball" of this program here, although you may need some Ruby and/or Glade files to meet any dependency requirements, although I'm not sure what CentOS 6.6 has available and/or will the program will need precisely. You may need to use an older version of ScreenRuler depending on the version of Ruby. :) Regards... |
the old carpenters auto retracting measuring tape is just not enough now days. :(

More information needed on your end goal and data sets, please. |
that's why we need to know actually what is on the display, which program was used to draw what, was it 2d or 3d or something else, and what kind of distance is required (in pixel, in meter or in ???). Pdf probably includes an embedded image, but probably not....?

pixels converted into inches depending on size of screen display to get distance from point a to point b. then you'd take that and put it to what the scale of the graff is and well it is quite difficult to say the lease. unless you're a math head. |
