What inspired this wish list request? I use the cross-hair tool and measurement tools a lot but find myself having to write down a lot of information I gain from them, which is a waste of time.
What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see the following:
Cross hair
- Ability to "Pin" the cross-hair tool image
- Ability to save out the values of the cross hair to a table
Measurement tool
- Ability for the cross hairs to calculate a slope value that would show under the dx and dy values
- Ability to force the measurement tool to stick in an "x / y" mode (like when the axis are different data types) vs the "slope" mode (when data are the same data types). This will allow you to line up the X and Y values to the data more easily.
- Ability to "Pin" the measurement tool image
- Ability to save out the values of the cross hair to a table
Why is this idea important? The cross-hair and measurement tools are amazing at allowing you to interact with your data but the usefulness is muted by having to resort to hand calculating / documenting the information that you gain.
