It might sound like a panacee and it might be a bit of overkill, but
NIH-Image can do this I believe, with just the mouse. If you explicidly
want to use a digitiser, as long as it is a macintosh digitiser, you can
use the digitiser as mouse and start reading this message again.
NIH can do macro programming alike Pascal,and is specialised in image
processing (length, area, perimeter etc) so this should be a piece of
cake.
It is freely available from zippy.nimh.nih.gov in the pub/image directory
it runs on a macintosh with system 7 or better
