How can I view the meters per pixel?

Dear Douglas,

I would like to know if there is a way to find out the exact number of meters per pixel on Tracker after using the calibration stick, since it's part of the data required for my physichs assignment.

I believe I could calculate so by dividing, for example, the difference between the x position in meters and the x pixel on two different tracking points, but I do not know how accurate it would be.

Thank you for making this great software and assisting us since 2009.

Noel.
