[GRASS-user] Measure distance between two points

GRASS GRASS user

   I want to measure the width of a road interactively. The only distance
measurement module I see is m.measure and this requires an existing feature.

   Have I missed finding the appropriate module or do I interactively edit a
map to add a line so it can be measured with m.measure, then deleted?

TIA,

Rich

   Thanks, Anna. I did not think to look at the analyze feature of the map
display window.
