Freeware alternative list

Ping Plotter is developed under the trialware (or shareware) concept. You're probably familiar with this - you can try out the software for a limited time (30 days) after which you need to pay for it. It only costs $24.95 per computer to license (discounts are available for buying multiple licenses).

One Request. in front of each, just state one line of its features and uniqueness, that would make choosing much easier

Errmm... :blink:

You are welcome... but I wasn't the smart ass who disrespected the work of all users who contributed to this thread, I was just pointing out a simple correction. If everybody treated others like you just did, this place would be much worse. Can't you keep it fair? :)

{Create tutorials and presentations} A good way to teach someone how to do something is by creating a visual, animated tutorial. Unfortunately, programs that do this can be costly. Wink can do it at no cost and it's good quality. It even has a couple of tutorials to show how it works. It can save the tutorial as a PDF or HTML file.

Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc). Using Wink you can capture screenshots of your software, use images that you already have, type-in explanations for each step, create a navigation sequence complete with buttons, delays, titles etc and create a highly effective tutorial for your users.

MeazureTM 2.0

What are the dimensions of that image? How big is this window? Does this layout fit on an NTSC display? What color are these pixels? What does this icon look like close up? How can I capture an arbitrary portion of the screen? These are just a few of the questions that kept coming up as I developed applications and web pages. Various tools are available to answer some of these questions but I could not find any that answered them all or that had a usable interface. So I created Meazure, a program that measures, magnifies and captures the screen by providing a battery of features in a cohesive user interface. Even better, Meazure is free!

Features

Measure objects on the screen such as images, windows and icons

Capture arbitrary portions of the screen

Magnify the screen up to 32X magnification

Read the color of a screen pixel in RGB, hex RGB, CMY, CMYK, HSL, YCbCr, YIQ

Display rulers anywhere on the screen

Display a grid overlay on the screen with adjustable grid spacing

Measure using a number of units including pixels, points, twips, centimeters, or user-defined

Record measurements to an XML file for later playback or external processing

Calibrate screen resolution to provide accurate measurements

Save and restore measurement tool positions using Profiles

Use predefined Profiles for common screen and video sizes such as NTSC and PAL

Configure the user interface to show only the information you need

Many more features. See the detailed context-sensitive online help

could say this is an alternative to the commerical program @ http://www.bitsplash.com/exactmouse/
