I would like to propose the integration of a small window next to the coordinates, at the bottom of the canvas. To be able to visualize the pixel value of a layer. That would avoid having to use plug in, and would save space for this same panel. Thank you very much for the availability. Luca

is years I say that the value tool plugin should become a core tool...

Is the "Identify Feature" tool not good enough for reading these raster values? It can display the raster values of the coordinate you click on.

Or do you absolutely need live feedback while moving your cursor?

when doing raster analysis this type of live feedback is a must, this is why "value tool" is a fundamental plugin (for who does raster analysis).

Good day. Yes, it is necessary to be able to see values in real time, especially for analysts, like me, of land models. The "Value Tool" add-on (and others) allows that, and up to several synchronous layers. It is really useful to know in real time dem, slope etc ... The plug works very well, but I am surprised that it is not an integral part of QGIS, since other sig, have it used in a standard way. But it was not necessary to have to use a specific panel on this function, since there is space next to the window of the spatial coordinates. It's just my choice :) Thanks to everyone!
