Hi Jonathan,

difficult to understand the problem without a sample image.  I guess that the company logo that came as an attachment is not the type of image you want to analyze ;-)

If you draw two parallel lines by hand, it is rather elementary geometry to calculate their distance from the coordinates of their end points - is that what you are looking for?

Since the edge of the lines has some roughness to it I would like to be able to draw parallel lines to get an "average" edge position and have ImageJ (or plugin) give me the distance between the two lines.
