[FEAT] convert ruler to path (polygon shape)

[dthv]

The ruler tool grants the possibility to draw a path around a map, measuring distance and allowing to set waypoints.

Yet, this path vanishes the moment the finger is lifted off the mouse button. It would be a very cool feature if the path could be made persistent.

This could be done by creating a Shape from the ruler, writing distance as plain text into the object's annotation and setting it to invisible if the ruler was set to be private. It should share the player's chosen colour as of the player settings.

I propose the hotkey Enter to create a path from the ruler.

What kind of scenarios do you envision this being used?

Complex tacitcal movement.

Yet, maybe using the draw tool and ticking a "measure" box would be the better approach. I can imagine a function that measures a shape while drawing could be very useful, in general.
