FS#829 - Additional options for the Info Tool Area ...
The Info Tool Polygonal Area is a helpful tool ... but I like to ask for additional options
Yes, the polygonal area makes absolute sense but many times you have just to check a square or rectangle area!
It would be nice and time (click) saving if we could use a “Strg Key” to limit the polygonal area to just a rectangle area.
Two mouse clicks for a rectangle area and done
In addition to that it would be nice to have the possibility to count up or down a couple areas.
E.g. I measure area 1 plus area 2 or area 1 minus area 2 ...
Maybe just with an additional keystroke like + or -
Meanwhile most shapes have an area property.
And there is a summed area property.
A differential area requires the order of things.
Area 1 minus area 2 or area 2 minus area 1 ... and more of this.
The area of a square or rectangle area only indicated by 2 corners is definitely an interesting feature.
For now I draw a rectangle and look at the Property Editor before undoing it.
