Hi Benoit,

I am searching for a plugin that calculates the area and perimeter of
polygons of shapefiles and other vector layers e.g. spatialite

I think there is none at the moment, if I am not mistaken.

However, you can get the area and perimeter of the layer using fTools.

Vector-> Geometry tools -> Export / Add Geometry Columns

The resulting exported shapefile has Area and Perimeter columns in the
attribute table.

Probably it would be good to add this feature - Area and perimeter
calculation in your Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin.

Thanks.

Noli
