The Measure Tool is used to gain knowledge about pixel distances in your working image. By clicking and dragging the mouse button, you can determine the angle and number of pixels between the point of click and where the mouse pointer is located. The information is displayed on the status bar or can also be displayed in the Info Window.
A common use case for „Measure“ is to calculate the angle of rotation when horizon is uneven on a photo. Since GIMP-2.10.4, you no longer have to perform the rotation manually to straighten horizon: after measuring the angle, just click the new Straighten button.
This button can be used in straightening horizontal or vertical lines up: the starting point comes with a small bar that shows the direction.
Pokud tlačítko uvolníte, zůstane měřidlo v obrázku a na další pohyb myši nereaguje. Chcete-li pokračovat v měření ze stejného počátečního bodu, můžete kliknout na koncový bod měření (kurzor se nad ním změní v kříž). Pokud kliknete kamkoliv jinam do obrázku, provede se měření z nového počátečního bodu.
Information is displayed in the status bar, at the bottom of the Image window:
Distance between the original point and the mouse pointer, in pixels.
Angle, in every quadrant, from 0° to 90°.
Pointer coordinates relative to the original point.
You can get to the „Measure“ from the image-menu through: → ,
or by clicking the tool icon:
in Toolbox.
While holding down the Shift key, click and drag from an existing endpoint to create a second measurement line from this endpoint. The angle between the two lines will be displayed. Any endpoint can be moved by clicking and dragging. So, you can measure any angle on the image:
Obrázek 14.178. Shift modifier
Click on start point and drag following a side of the angle.
Then, Shift-click on start point and drag following the other side of the angle: you get the value of this particular angle.
Stisknutí Ctrl během tažení myší omezuje úhel, pod kterým může být umístěno měřidlo, na násobky 15 stupňů. To je užitečné, chcete-li přesně změřit například vodorovnou nebo svislou vzdálenost.
Ctrl key pressed and click on an end point
creates a horizontal guide. The mouse pointer goes with
the
icon.
In Horizontal or Vertical Orientation modes, Ctrl also toggles between Horizontal and Vertical.
Alt key and click on an end point creates a vertical guide.
This key combination and click on a measure line allows to move the measure.
Ctrl+Alt key combination and click on an end point creates a vertical and a horizontal guides.
In the Auto mode (default), will snap to the smallest angle between the measure line and the vertical or horizontal direction. Horizontal and Vertical allow to override this behavior by specifying explicitly what it should be.
This option will display an Info Window dialog that details the measure tool results. The results are more complete than on the status bar.
Transform, Interpolation, and Clipping are treated in 3.1 – „Common Features“. Here is an example for straightening a path:

Straighten with „Adjust“ option

: click on this button to perform straightening.
You can't measure surfaces directly, but you can use the Histogram that gives you the number of pixels in a selection.
