hello

i need to measure a series of distances from a set point at various angles. is there a way using imagej to specify a point from which a line tool measurement should begin, and then set the angle at which the line should extend but still be able to manually manipulate the distance (something like how holding shift fixes the line at either 90 or 0 degrees but still allows you to change its length)? i'm new to imagej so this might be a fairly obvious question, but i haven't been able to find any documentation about it, nor any previous threads on the topic.

thanks for your help!
