Point and Click Measuring and Drawing Device and Method

A point and click measuring and drawing device comprising:

• a) a power source,
• b) a central processing unit,
• c) a drawing and measuring software application installed onto said central processing unit,
• d) pointing means connected to said central processing unit,
• e) clicking means connected to said central processing unit,
• f) a viewing display unit connected to said central processing unit,
• so when an user sets up a page of an adequate size on said drawing and measuring software application and defines an initial cursor position, said user may extrapolate the position of defining points of a two dimensional real life scenario into a proportionally reduced drawing on said viewing display unit by successively clicking on said critical points of a real life scenario, whereby a two dimensional area is measured and drawn.

A power device to measure and draw real life two dimensional areas comprising:

• a) a central processing unit,
• wherein said central processing unit further has a point and click mechanism and a viewing display unit connected thereto,
• b) a drawing and measuring software program,
• wherein said drawing and measuring software program tracks and records all point and click actions by an user on a real life two dimensional area and displays said point and click actions and the distances between said point and click actions on a reduced scale on said viewing display unit,
• whereby said two dimensional area is drawn and measured.

A method to electronically calculate the area of an irregular two dimensional shape, comprising the steps of

• a) providing software means,
• b) providing point and click means to interact with said software means,
• c) providing a display screen to monitor the interactions of said software means and said point and choking means,
• b) defining a virtual page with said software means, viewable on said display screen,
• c) electronically tracing said irregular two dimensional shape with said point and click means, so a scaled down drawing of said two dimensional irregular shape fits in said virtual page, and whereby a perimeter of said irregular two dimensional shape is defined, and viewable on said display screen,
• d) reticulating said virtual page into a plurality of compartments,
• e) electronically calculating the area of each of said compartments with said software means,
• f) electronically calculating the sum of the areas of said compartments that are fully fitting within said perimeter, with said software means,
• whereby the area of an irregular two dimensional shape is calculated.
