PaleoTax / Measure

PaleoTax / Measure is an external tool to measure fossils (or what ever) which are available in two dimensions (in cuts, slabs, thin sections). The object must be available as a JPG, GIF or BMP file.
The image is loaded as an background picture and the user may mark points, polygons, and lines (and may count objects). Data are separately stored in a text file, can be reloaded and modified. Both vector data and the bitmap can be exported as WMF, JPG or BMP file, or as text. Two point lines, polygones and countings can be statistically evaluated and exported as text files.
Users may create their own names for the different types of measurements and assign properties (such as a colour, line thickness etc.).
