About ProtractorOnline.org

Learn what ProtractorOnline.org provides, how its browser tools and technical content are checked, and how to report an error.

Purpose and responsibility

ProtractorOnline.org provides browser-based visual angle measurement, calculation, practice, and printable tools. The site is maintained as an independent technical resource. It does not claim a professional accreditation, a large editorial team, or usage figures that cannot be verified.

Tool behavior, formulas, page metadata, links, and representative interactions are checked in the repository before a production build. Readers can report a calculation error, unclear instruction, accessibility problem, or broken workflow by email; corrections are evaluated against reproducible examples.

How the tools and content are checked

  1. Geometry and slope functions have automated unit tests, including boundary and conversion cases.
  2. Static build tests check canonical URLs, unique titles and headings, sitemap membership, internal links, and parseable JSON-LD.
  3. Content audits measure repetition and keyword use as warning signals; an editor must still judge whether wording is useful and natural.
  4. Browser smoke checks cover the main measurement modes and responsive layouts before release.

Browser-side file handling

  • Images use temporary browser object URLs and Canvas rendering.
  • PDF.js loads on demand and renders the selected page locally.
  • Exports are assembled in the active browser session.
  • The measurement workspace does not transmit source files, points, annotations, or exports to analytics.

Report an error

  • Email [email protected] with the page URL and the expected result.
  • For a tool bug, include reproducible steps, browser and device details, and a non-sensitive sample when possible.
  • For a content correction, identify the exact sentence and provide a reliable source or worked calculation.
  • Never send confidential plans, private records, passwords, or files you do not have permission to share.

Scope

The site explains and performs visual geometry tasks, but it is not an engineering firm, surveying service, medical provider, standards body, or certification authority. See the Disclaimer and Measurement Methodology for the practical boundaries of results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who maintains this site?

ProtractorOnline.org is maintained as an independent technical website. No unverified personal credentials or organization history are presented.

How can I request a correction?

Email [email protected] with the URL, the issue, and enough detail to reproduce or verify it.

Does the site upload measurement files?

The workspace processes images and PDF pages locally in the browser and does not send their contents to an application server.

How are formulas tested?

Automated unit tests cover angle classification, conversions, slope math, and representative edge cases; the methodology page records the formulas and review approach.
