Meazure is a tool for easily measuring and capturing portions of the screen. Tasks such as measuring the size of a window, capturing an image, determining the color of a pixel, and determining the screen size and resolution can all be easily accomplished using Meazure.

Certain Window Managers (e.g. Gnome) have areas into which the crosshair can be dragged but cannot be dragged out. Typically, these are areas on the side, bottom or top edges of the screen where the Window Manager provides its icon bars and decoration. If a crosshair is dragged into one of these dead zones, use the text fields to move the crosshair out.
Please open an issue on GitHub for feature requests and to report bugs.
We hope Meazure is a valuable addition to your software toolbox. Please consider making a financial contribution. Thank you!
