Protractor Tool

[TArda34]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Add a protractor tool Angle of a corner where the mouse cursor is closer (corner determined by color differences) or; Angle between mouse cursor and lines drawn it would be nice to learn

I drew an example by hand lol:

(I wrote using translation, forgive any typos) Thanks

Scenario when this would be used?

May be useful for some UI and UX designers

Would love to see this implemented! I'm a desktop GUI programmer and deal with situations all the time which would benefit from a solution like this.

The way I think it could work great in terms of UX is to have it be a 3 point selection process, eg:

1. Define centre point with a click. This defines the "location" of the on-screen protractor, ie: its centre.
2. Select the first point to measure angle from. This point would be some radial point anywhere around the centre point defined in 1
3. Same as 3, but now we're measuring the angle (degree and rads output would be super nice) from 3 to 2, centred about the point that was defined in 1.

Some nice UX ideas while selecting the points would be to have a line being drawn from the radial centre (point 1) to where you are tagging the next point. Then when mousing over to select point 3, having a low-opacity arc being drawn between the two measurement points 2 and 3.

If there's anything obvious I can do to help with this feature, let me know.

The amount of folded up sticky notes this feature would save me is insane

This would be great as an enhancement of the screen ruler function

I would also greatly appreciate a protractor, it would be very useful
