Iron®-Callipers Screen Measurement Tool

by Karel Thönissen

Today Garabit® published the Iron®- Callipers, a simple tool to determine screen co-ordinates, distances, angles and surfaces. Above screen shot is of the callipers in action with the help screen of the application in the background. Click on the image to read the entire manual. That is all there is to it at this moment. A few little functions will be added in the next few days. Tomorrow we shall publish some documentation accessible from this blog.

This tool is not part of our core business. We made it in a couple of hours, using our existing frameworks and technology. If we simply needed a tool like this, we should have bought it from the shelf, because buying is more cost-effective than making. However, we needed to gain experience with some new design patterns and this was an excellent tool to try it.

Have fun.
