Bug Description
Please provide an option in the Stroke style tab of the Fill and Stroke dialogue to have an text object appear next to a line with the length of that line. See attachment for an example.
When this option is enabled, the following extra options should be provided to the user:
- line length position: top, bottom, left or right
- line length offset (distance to the line)
- line length font name and font size
- line length unit: mm, cm, in, etc.
Whenever the line is altered, this text object should automatically update too.
Implementing this will easy creating technical drawing where line lengths are important.
