1. A method for generating a floor plan of a room comprising:

  • receiving with a gesture input device in the mobile electronic device a plurality of strokes corresponding to walls in a room;

    generating with a controller in the mobile electronic device an approximate floor plan of the room with reference to the plurality of strokes;

    receiving with the gesture input device an input gesture that selects one wall in the approximate floor plan for measurement;

    receiving with the controller measurement data from a range finder corresponding to a dimension of the selected one wall;

    modifying with the controller the approximate floor plan with reference to the measurement data from the range finder, the modifying further comprising;

    identifying with the controller an angle between a first stroke corresponding to a first wall in the room and a second stroke corresponding to a second wall in the room that contacts the first wall;

    identifying with the controller a first difference between the identified angle and a first predetermined angle;

    identifying with the controller a second difference between the identified angle and a second predetermined angle;

    adjusting with the controller the identified angle to be the first predetermined angle in the modified floor plan in response to the first difference being smaller than the second difference; and

    adjusting with the controller the identified angle to be the second predetermined angle in the modified floor plan in response to the second difference being smaller than the first difference; and

    generating with a display in the mobile electronic device a graphical display of the modified floor plan of the room.
