In the Measurement Drawer
The Angle tool measures the angle between two user-specified lines. The lines can be found using the tool’s
built-in Line Find ROIs or they can be linked from a Pinpoint Pattern Find or Line Find tool as Origins or
Line Segments. The angle is always reported as a positive number from 0 to 360. The intersection point is
also reported.
See “How to set up the Angle tool” on page 3-112.
Input Name What it is
Input Image Linked Image
Tool Origin The tool’s origin relative to the entire image space
Line 1 Type The type of line to find. The choices are using the tool’s built-in Line Find
or link from another tool.
Wide Line ROI 1 If Line 1 Type is First Bright Line or First Dark Line, move and adjust this
ROI to find one of the tool’s measurement lines.
Line Segment 1 If Line 1 Type is Link Line Segment, enter a line’s parameters, or link a
line segment from another tool. This is one of the tool’s measurement
lines.
Origin 1 If Line 1 Type is Link Origin, enter an origin’s parameters, or link an ori-
gin from another tool. This is one of the tool’s measurement lines.
Rotate Line 1 180 If True, Line 1 is rotated 180 degrees from its original position. You can
use this option if the original Line or Origin provides an angle opposite of
what you want.
Line 2 Type The type of line to find. The choices are using the tool’s built-in Line Find
or to from another tool.
Wide Line ROI 2 If Line 2 Type is First Bright Line or First Dark Line, move and adjust this
ROI to find one of the tool’s measurement lines.
Line Segment 2 If Line 2 Type is Link Line Segment, enter a line’s parameters, or link a
line segment from another tool. This is one of the tool’s measurement
lines.
Origin 2 If Line 2 Type is Link Origin, enter an origin’s parameters, or link an ori-
gin from another tool. This is one of the tool’s measurement lines.
Rotate Line 2 180 If True, Line 2 is rotated 180 degrees from its original position. You can
use this option if the original Line or Origin provides an angle opposite of
what you want.
Angle Direction The direction for measuring the angle from one line to the other (Clock-
wise or Counterclockwise). See “How to set up the Angle tool” on
page 3-112.
