Created attachment 126112 [details] measuring a v in gimp SUMMARY The measure tool cannot measure between two non-horizontal lines. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Draw the letter V on a canvas, make it big. 1. Select the measure tool. 2. Try to measure an angle between between the two lines of the V. OBSERVED RESULT The measure tool snaps to perfect horizontal. Unless you draw one of the two lines of your V perfectly horizontally it is not easy to measure the angle between the two lines. EXPECTED RESULT Some method to specify two lines to measure angle between. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Krita 4.2.8, manual backport. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GIMP's measure tool can do this if you hold shift and click on the start point after setting the first measurement line. See the attachment.
