    I measure windows for my business.  Is there a way to enter values x and y and have jotform display a square/shape with these measurements listed?

    I'm afraid that we don't have such possibility.

    You could probably try creating a rectangle shape with HTML and pass the values for size:

    The actual shape will be fixed of course, but the numbers will change as input. You can check how it works here: https://form.jotform.com/91141381097960

    It can be a bit adjusted, but please check.

    Let us know if that could work for you.

    This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for!  I'm more concerned with the visual of the sizes for manufacturing.  I would have paid a lot of money to a web designer/programmer to do such a simple task that you sent over in 1 day.  This reaffirms my decision to upgrade my FREE account to the next level!

    I tested it and it works perfectly! How do I copy this sample to my forms to customize the rectangle, etc?
