1. A computer readable memory for directing a computer that is connected to a display and a pointing device to process first image data representing a first image, the computer readable memory comprising:
- an angle measuring tool routine stored thereon and configured to;
generate second image data representing a second image of an angle measuring tool projected on the first image in response to the first image data, the angle measuring tool including endpoint cursors that can be manipulated with the pointing device to position the angle measuring tool on the first image to form an angle, measure the formed angle; and
generate angle data representing angle information about the measured angle; and
a data formatting routine stored thereon and configured to;
format the second image data for display of the second image on the display; and
format the angle data for display of the angle information on the display.

5. A method for processing first image data representing a first image with a computer that is connected to a display and a pointing device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating second image data representing a second image of the first image and an angle measuring tool projected on the first image in response to the first image data, the angle measuring tool including endpoint cursors that can be manipulated with the pointing device to position the angle measuring tool on the first image to form an angle;
measuring the formed angle;
generating angle data representing angle information about the measured angle;
formatting the second image data for display of the second image;
formatting the angle data for display of the angle information; and
displaying the second image on the display in response to the formatted second image data; and
displaying the angle information on the display in response to the formatted angle data. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
