Interactive-Ruler QGIS 4 compatibility

Not QGIS 4 ready Active

Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.

Interactive ruler with a launcher dialog, straight-line and multi-point path measurement, a layer-name box that groups measurements as distance-named layers, direction arrows and length labels

About

Interactive ruler for QGIS. Draw straight lines or multi-point paths on the map and save each measurement as its own styled ruler layer with direction arrows and a length label. Measurements are grouped under a layer name and named after their result (for example SITE C 1.82 km), with automatic metre/kilometre units, a live distance balloon while dragging, adjustable label font size and line width, and three colour themes: Dark, Light and Red (#e31a1c). Existing lines keep their own style and are never recoloured.
