Hi. I’m trying to measure an angle on a hand drawn object. It’s over 90 degrees. Whether i set the measure tool to auto, left or to right , it flips to the other side of vertical plane and starts to measure the opposite side (where there is no object), until it then again reaches 90 degrees.
This means i can’t get it to measure an angle of more than 90 degrees.
How can i stop it flipping and get it to measure an angle of say 120 degrees?
For what I know about the measurement tool, simply by adding/subtracting anything that goes over 90°? The issue is that Krita only measures relatively from a single point, and every time you pass the (next) right angle, the count continues forward or backward, and you have to mental add or subtract the degrees to get your result, sorry.
That comes because you always measure from just one point to a second point on your canvas instead of using a three-point measurement with a starting point, angular point¹, and end point, and for a two-point-measurement Krita’s current display is sufficient, however, you’re expecting a three-point measurement instead of determining an angle from point A to point B what is what Krita does.
For your issue you have to use an external tool, unfortunately I only know Windows tools for this task, and I don’t know if these would work using Wine-Bottler or similar tools.
I don’t think you can, that tool is very limited, you can however just measure the angle by subtracting the angle it measures from 180. So if there is something that is around 120 degrees, it would measure 60 degrees (outside of your object), so you do 180-60 = 120.
