Here are some key features of "Screen Scales":

Multiple Line Segments:
· You can have as many line segments as you would like at one time. They are all connected in a long string from point to point. You can drag any point around the screen to measure multiple things at once. To add points simply right click on an existing point and choose Add Point. This will add an additional point to the end of the string and connect it to the previous end. Removing points works the same way however it will remove the point that you clicked on and not the last one created.

Display Height & Width Deltas:
· Since the points can be moved anywhere on the screen, you are able to measure diagonal distances. You can turn on a feature which will show you not only the main measurement but also the horizontal and vertical distances (deltas) as well. To toggle this view on and off, simply right click a point (or a line if you can hit it) and click the Show Deltas option. This is a toggle and will show or hide the delta values accordingly.

Display Angle Measurements:
· Have you ever needed to measure the angle of something on the screen? Yeah, me neither, but if it ever comes up now you can! The angle toggle works the same as the delta toggle, just right click and select Show Angles. The angles will display in two different ways depending on the visibility of the deltas. If the deltas are visible it will display the angle between the main line and the horizontal and vertical lines. If the deltas are hidden, the angle will display between two main lines (meaning you have to have 3 or more points for them to become visible). Try both views out, they are kind of fun to play with.

Display Accumulative Totals:
· This feature allows you to measure the total distance across multiple line segments. If you have 3 points or more the total distance from the beginning point will be displayed on each subsequent segment after the first. It is noted by adding parenthesis around the totaled numbers ( ### ). This is another toggle in the right click menu to display them or display the standard distances.

Custom Scale Factor:
· Sometimes it may be useful to measure distances in something other than screen pixels. You can set a custom scale factor by selecting Set Scale Factor from the right click menu. A smaller disconnected line segment will appear with a box in the middle of it. Simply drag the two points to set a reference distance and type into the box how far it is between two points. All of the distances will automatically be adjusted by this scale factor.
