I wanted to measure a small box but couldn’t find a tape measure or ruler.So i searched something to help me from the internet.
Screen-o-Meter is a site that allows you to measure things online with your monitor’s screen. All you need to know is the size of the screen your monitor has.The site is set up to work with TFT and LCD monitors, but with some adjustments, you can use it with a CRT monitor as well.
To begin measuring, set the monitor screen size. Choose the correct one from the drop down box on the right hand side of the page.
Next, select how long you want the Screen-o-Meter to be. Then click on the Let’s See button. That will take you to the page where your ruler will load.
On the Measurement page, you can test it to see if it’s accurate. You’ll put in your screen size and then click on the Check button. When the page loads, there will be a large orange circle. If a CD or DVD fits in the circle perfectly, you know you are calibrated right and you’re getting precise measurements.
Back on the main page, under the Main Measurement field, you’ll see a link for a rectangular ruler. That’s how you would measure envelopes and such. You just put in the dimensions you’re trying to get and it makes a ruler for it. For example, you could do 3×5, 5×7, 8×11, etc.
I hope this site helps you also.
