What are the dimensions of that image? How big is this window? Does this layout fit on an NTSC display? What color are these pixels? What does this icon look like close up? How can I capture an arbitrary portion of the screen?

These are just a few of the questions that kept coming up as I developed applications and web pages. Several tools can be used to answer some of these queries, but some of them still had no solution or did not have a usable interface.

So Meazure was created, a program that measures, magnifies and captures the screen by providing a battery of features in a cohesive user interface.

Here are some key features of "Meazure":

· Measure objects on the screen such as images, windows and icons
· Capture arbitrary portions of the screen
· Magnify the screen up to 32X magnification
· Read the color of a screen pixel in RGB, hex RGB, CMY, CMYK, HSL, YCbCr, YIQ
· Display rulers anywhere on the screen
· Display a grid overlay on the screen with adjustable grid spacing
· Measure using a number of units including pixels, points, twips, centimeters, or user-defined
· Record measurements to an XML file for later playback or external processing
· Calibrate screen resolution to provide accurate measurements
· Save and restore measurement tool positions using Profiles
· Use predefined Profiles for common screen and video sizes such as NTSC and PAL
· Configure the user interface to show only the information you need
