Description of the new feature / enhancement

  1. Allow to choose other units, other than pixels, for the measurements (cm, mm, inches, etc)
  2. Allow free choice of endpoints
  3. Allow to show a movable real ruler on screen
    3.1 Optional units (cm, in, etc)
    3.2 Can be rotated or vertical or horizontal

Scenario when this would be used?

According to the previous description:

  1. When you want to know how many cm are there on screen between objects
  2. When the objects on screen are not aligned horizontally or vertically
  3. When you want to measure a real object by putting it close to the screen

The scenario 3 option is reasonable. Wouldn't be impossible to do for them. But the first one would probably need a comparison material. So, you'd need something that can be used as a standard for measurement? Like, a coin for which you know the diameter.
