Hello, I am considering using GIMP 2.8 on my system with Mac OS X 10.6.8 to do the following:
(1) Digitise a photograph by tracing over parts of it with lines. The photo could be, say, the roots of a tree. The lines would be colour coded depending on the state of what they are over. I.e. roots in one state gets traced with one colour, while roots in another state would get a different colour. In the end I might end up with a bunch of lines, with the different colours of lines organised in different layers. (2) Calculate the relative proportion of lines of a certain colour to the total length of all lines. To do the above, I am wondering if GIMP has the ability to calculate the length of lines drawn over an image (in, say, number of pixels). This way, I can obtain the total pixel length all lines put together, and the total pixel length of, say, just the blue lines. Do you think GIMP is suitable for this kind of image analyses? Or should I use a vector based program like Inkscape?
