[This activity is part of the Nail Growth activity. If you haven’t done that, please do that by clicking this link.](https://stemgames.metastudio.org/t/invitation-game-what-can-voter-s-ink-mark-do/78/11)
In this activity we will measure the growth of nail from the picture taken on paper with a ruler or on graph paper.
We can use an app; for example ImageMeter. Use link to download the application from playstore:

You can use other apps as well
Using this application we can mark the position from the beginning of the nail to the bottom end of the voter`s ink mark. This distance represents the length nail has grown from the date of voting till the date of the photo taken.
Following is an image showing length of nail growth;

@bivasnag select an arrow line in imagemeter app, place that arrow from point starting to ending point you want to measure. Once you draw the line , you get the reading of measurement of that length.
This is how you can measure distance between any two points using imagemeter.

Could you make a wiki on how to measure using different tools, one of them being image meter. @jaikishan @edurafi

Yes. We measured the size of nail ink mark length with the help of Image Meter app, which is easily available on Android Play store. I’m attaching photo of data that I uploaded here. For measuring length first we have to set reference scale & then in app at the bottom there is double headed arrow by clicking on it we can just drag pointer from starting point to end point.
By this way we can get measurement in few seconds.

@bivasnag did you measure your nail growth? Pls submit the data you have collected so far on nail growth in this activity.

Is it possible to take the picture again with either scale or graph paper or another object with known size at the same plane as the finger? This will make measurement accurate, else we may have to do an estimation.

Can we make the form on kobotoolkit instead of google? @bivasnag Please do this quickly before the link is shared to wider population. With kobotoolkit we can do moe analysis, and not depend on google forms.

Can you please tell me @GN what is a kobotoolkit, we have updated the google form in which we have included the section of the date of voting. @karnamdpdurga can you please help me to learn more about kobototoolkit if possible so we can start collecting data as soon as possible because election is going on in many places
