<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Hi</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>I started working on a
dimension lines plugin:</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Select two points, then
choose the length of the help lines and a start and/or endoffset. The
startoffset is the distance between the start of the help lines (or the
main/dimension line if the length of the help lines is 0). The endoffset is used
for the displacement of the main line (if there are some help lines). The
offsets and the length of the help lines are defined in map units. An example
can be found here [1].</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>The lines are stored in two
layers in a spatialite database. You can use a layer_id (an integer value) to
arrange them a bit. </span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>There are two simple styles
in the plugin directory. The default one: black lines, main line with arrows and
the length of the line is written on top of the line. The red one: ditto in
red.</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Drawbacks:</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>-
I guess it won't work with on-the-fly transformation
enabled.</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>- Everything is static. Once
you created the lines the won't move if you change the points/vertex they are
assigned to.</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>- ....</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>The plugin can be found here
[2].</span></div>
