The quickest method would probably be to import the jpg and trace it using the pen tool. Simply add a small amount of code to the traced object to compute the area dynamically. Although your situation is highly particular, I believe it will serve your needs. I'm currently working on that screenshot.

@Lesternixon Thanks. @jonb wrote a fantastic script that does exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately with the new release of Pythonista it fails due to a problem with the image module. Hopefully this will get fixed at some point.

@cvp That's interesting. I have many versions. Does the version you tested allow you to select an image from your photo library or is it using a fixed file name? The reason I ask is that most of the versions I have allow that selection (it was added early on in the development), and that particular function for selecting an image appears still to be broken in the latest data.

@ihf It was floorplanarea.py , not RoomAreaFinder, and yes, it uses a fixed image, no picking
-
@cvp Can you please send me that version? When I tried changing my version of floorplanarea.py to use a specific file, it gets an error. pick.image remains broken but if the version you have that works is a recent version in terms of features, I could use that for now.

@ccc No, I have that one. That's the one that won't run on the v3.4beta (it tries to pick the image) and if I change it to use a stored file it gets an error on line 63.

-
@cvp I tried running that and it gives an error about RoomOverlay.touch_moved n() takes 2 positional arguments if you touch the image. I have the most recent version of the script and if I remove the image picker to avoid the bug in the beta I get other errors that must also be beta (or just new version) related.
-
@ihf Weird. I don't have any problem. Perhaps due it uses also an old Gestures module, in the same folder.
Gestures checked, same as in old Gestures
Did you restart Pythonista ?
-
@cvp yes, many times. If it works for you, perhaps I have some bad module here somewhere.
-
@ihf If you use "my" old FloorPlanArea.py and if you did not change it 😉, be sure you also use the Gestures.py of @jonB in the same folder, to avoid using another Gestures module, for example, of @mikael, they could have different parameters.
