Hi, I'd like to construct manually some hachures in order to show the terrain form, like in ye olde maps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachure_map)
I am working with contours that I have available. Using the snapping options I can already draw lines between two contour lines just fine, but a hachure line is usually drawn in the direction of the steepest slope. So it would be useful to have a length indicator, just like with the measurement tool, when digitizing lines. Because the shortest distance between two points would represent the steepest slope and that is what I want to know. So how can I get the current line length while digitizing? Is there some plugin? I am also not afraid of using Python to achieve this, but I've never done any QGIS modding so far ...
