Here are some simple, I hope, instructions for the Estimator Demo. First of all you need a Java capable browser in order to run the Demo. Given that, a rectangle will appear in the upper left quadrant (quadrant II), this is generated by the program. Another box will appear in one of the other three quadrants, this box is for you to work with. Within the quadrant, click the mouse where you wish the corner to be. Arrow keys can also be used to resize the rectangle, this is good for small adjustments. Try to size it the same as the rectangle in quadrant II. When you believe the two have the same dimensions click in quadrant II to compare. The following data is recorded by the program:

  • Width and height, respectively, of the box in quadrant II.
  • Width and height, respectively, of the box you adjusted.
  • The quadrant of the box you adjust and the trial number.

Type 's' to view the data. You can then cut and paste the data into a word processor or text editor and save it.

To clear the data you may need to force your browser to reload the page from the site, as opposed to the browsers cache. Please send any comments/suggestions to leslie@mystery.com
