Screen Compass

On-Screen Measurement of Circles and Shapes

Back when design, planning, and engineering work involved huge, flat tables and room to roll out huge blueprints, it was no problem measuring the radius, circumference, or area of shapes. After all, you just went into your trusty bag of measurement tools, bent over the paper, and got it done! But in this age of computers, where it's unlikely that you'll ever need to actually print out anything in the entire lifetime of a project, how are you supposed to get these critically important measurements done? With Screen Compass, naturally!

Screen Compass is the quick and easy way to measure the radius, circumference, and area of circular and polygonal shapes on your computer screen! With Screen Compass, you'll have access to a virtual compass which floats above all other windows, perfect for use with any program. And don't even think that virtual measurement sacrifices the precision that you've grown accustomed to -- Screen Compass lets you use keyboard controls for precise measurements!

No matter what you need to measure, Screen Compass is up to the job. There are 37 varieties of polygons that can be measured, including the oh-so-popular triangle, the square, and even the pentagon and the ever-so-rare 39 sided Triacontakaienneagon. Built to suit the needs of a diverse base of users, Screen Compass can measure in pixels, inches, or any custom unit. You can even alter the transparency of your floating compass, so you can see underneath it as you measure! Or, if you get bored with the look of your compass, just download new skins and change up the interface as you please!
