Add measurement and locating tools #1087

Description

@ES-Alexander

Summary

Allowing measuring distances and angles on the plot, and marking/tracking compass orientations and GNSS positions when available.

Additional information

  • hovering should show the distance and angle from the sensor front
    • and the global position if there's a position estimate available through the MAVLink telemetry or an external NMEA system (per ping360 future features #518)
  • click to add(/remove) angles/shapes/points of interest
    • angle only makes sense if vehicle telemetry provides compass heading
    • a shape (polygon/circle) of interest could be used for lining up something like a dock pile and maintaining position relative to it while inspecting it
    • if there is a position estimate, can move points around on the display as the vehicle moves, and change them into arrows once they're outside the scan range
  • click and drag to select a linear, rectangular, or pie slice region on the plot, with corresponding measurements included (e.g. lengths/angles/areas (per Ping360: Development  #515)
  • Ping360 head orientation display option #999 could make some of these more useful, by making the estimates horizontal instead of sensor-plane-aligned
