Measure
Distance and Angle
This tool calculates the distance and the angle between two points. Return values are the
absolute value of the distance and the angle.
Notes:
1.
The definition of the geometrical interpretation of the angle means that the direction of
rotation is counterclockwise in respect to the corresponding X-axis going through the
first point.
2.
If both points are identical, both result values are 0.
This tool is useful for example for generating offset parameters in a ROI tool.
Input Parameters
01 = Start point X
X coordinate of the first point.
02 = Start point Y
Y coordinate of the first point.
03 = End point X
X coordinate of the second point.
04 = End point Y
Y coordinate of the second point.
Returned Values
01 = Distance
Absolute value of the distance between the points in pixels.
02 = Line angle
Angle between the points in degrees ( ).
