# QGIS Azimuth Measurement documentation

## Purpose

This plugin was created to mimic the behaviour from Google Earth© as illustrated below. We only choose to display information in a widget instead of a dialog.

We just want to draw a temporary start point, draw a end point and then display the resulting distance and azimuth. At the moment, we don’t give the option to save the line drawing.

## Installation

You just need to install it through the menu Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins... and choose Azimuth Measurement.

Warning

You need to tick Show also Experimental plugins in Settings lateral tab or you will not see the plugin.

## Usage

You just have to follow below demonstration to understand how to use the plugin.

## Credits

The logo copyright is from the icon created by Denis Moskowitz from the Noun Project under Licence CC BY 3.0 US.

For the azimuth calculation, we choose to reuse pygc, a MIT licensed Python azimuth calculation library (so we can sublicence it in the GPL plugin code). We removed the dependency to Numpy Python package from it.

## Alternatives

Depending of your requirements, you may prefer using other plugins, more complex and for other use cases:

- Azimuth and Distance Plugin
- Azimuth and Distance Calculator
