What is new in the version 5

See also What is new in the version 4.0

• Full compatibility with Windows Vista (added in v. 5.1)

• Can capture still images from Video Sources. Learn More. (added in v. 5.2)

• Supports different conversion factors for the X and Y axes. Learn More. (added in v. 5.2)

• Curve fitting measurements can be calculated from segments, not only from counter points.
  Several new equations are provided for calculating the line or curve that passes most closely through a given set of points:

• Linear (y=a+x*b)

• Constant x linear (f(y)=x=k)

• Constant y linear (f(x)=y=k)

• Polynomial Approximation

• Polynomial Interpolation

• Exponential 1 (y=e^(x*a)*b)

• Exponential 2 (y=x^a*b)

• Exponential 3 (y = a^x*b)

• Hyperbolic (y=1/(k*x))

Exponential and Hyperbolic functions provide a linearized graph as well.

• Can capture still images from Video Sources. Learn More. (added in v. 5.20)

• Threshold option to select pixels in an image by specifying threshold and tolerance values.

• Selections can be expanded of contracted.

• Note tool to add notes up to 32000 characters long on the images.

• Measurements comments maximum size growth from 255 to 32000 characters.

• Text tool to add comments on the images.

• Segments can be used to determine angles. Learn more.

• When using the Rectangle/Ellipse Tools ( ), measurements can display either curve diameter (width and height), the area, or both them.
  The menu Measurements > Labels Display > Show Ellipse/Rectangle, can set the display mode.

• Angle calculation from two segments (right click the Angle button to open Preferences and select Use segments to determine angles checkbox to use this feature).

• Zoom was normalized and now  works in the same way along all program windows.

• The Mouse Wheel can be used for zooming or scrolling, according to its Preferences setting.

• Measurements can be exported to Word.

• Improved measurements exporting to Excel.

• New options to export measurements as HTML or Microsoft Word documents, including images.

• Fix: 8 bit and CMYK TIFF files are saved correctly, but always with 24 bit RGB format.

• Image printing improvements.
