Measuring Centering

Anyone have any methods to measure the centering? Eye-balling would only go so far. I posted the question on a differ thread and decided to start a new one rather than hijacking the other one.

Add the two sides together and divide one of the sides by the total. This is your percentage for that side.
Example - Left side - 3mm
Right side - 4mm
Total - 7mm
3 divided by 7 = .043 approximately
Left side is 43%
Grab a ruler a drafting ruler is best. Sixteenths will give you an idea. Measure left border then right add the two together then divide by either side and thats what your left with for that side minus a 100 thats the other.
Hope that helps.

For more simply type centering and hit Search! above all the message threads in the Sports Cards & Memorabilia forum.
Just take the total width of the four sides and multiply by the negative inverse of the slope and divide by 16. Then take the reciprocal of the square root of the first side and subtract it from the cubed root of the remaining 3 sides and divide by 32. Finally take the quotient and place into the slope intercept format of
y = mX + b – simultaneously solve both equations for the two sides.
Simple, ez and totally ubiquitous.
If it's a die cut card with irregular sides I think "pi" goes in the equation somewhere.

Was that when you were a grader for PRO?
