Meazure allows the appearance of the measurement
tools to be customized.
The following measurement tool characteristics can be customized.
- Line Color - The color for all lines can be specified using
the color dialog displayed when the Color button is pressed. The lines effected include
those using in the Line, Rectangle, Circle, Angle and Window tools, as well as those used
in the grid. Pressing the Default button restores the original color.
- Crosshair Background Color - The background color for
the crosshairs can be specified using the color dialog displayed
when the Background button is pressed. Pressing the Default button restores the original color.
- Crosshair Border Color - The color for the lines at the
edges of the crosshairs can be specified using the color dialog displayed when the Border
button is pressed. Pressing the Default button restores the original color.
- Crosshair Highlight Color - When the pointer is over a
crosshair, the highlight color replaces the background color of the crosshair. This highlight
color can be specified using the color dialog displayed when the Highlight button is pressed.
Pressing the Default button restores the original color.
- Opacity - The opacity of the crosshairs and data window
can be set using the opacity slider. An opacity of 100% means that the crosshairs and data
window are completely opaque (i.e. the underlying image does not show through). An opacity
of zero results in completely transparent objects.
Note: Opacity is supported only on Windows 2000 and higher.
For older versions of the Windows operating system, the opacity control is disabled and the
crosshairs and data windows are displayed fully opaque.
- Data Window -
Uncheck the box to hide the data windows associated with the measurement tools. The
data windows pop up when the pointer moves over a tool's crosshair.
- Origin Marker -
Uncheck the box to hide the marker that identifies the
location of the origin of the coordinate system.
To access the tools preferences panel select the

dialog.
