Interactive floating protractor and advanced azimuth/distance measurement tool for RF Site Audit and Network Planning.
About
Bearing Protractor is an interactive floating protractor and azimuth/distance measurement tool for QGIS, designed for Telecommunications, RF Engineering, GIS planning, and site audit workflows. The protractor stays directly on the map canvas, allowing users to visualize bearings, sector beams, distances, and coverage directions without leaving the map. Key features include: * Visual Beam & Multiple Bearings: Create and adjust multiple sector bearings with visual beam coverage directly on the map canvas. * Floating Legend Summary: A freely draggable panel providing a real-time summary of active sectors, including labels, azimuths, distances, colors, and sector information. * Calculated Population: Estimate the population within a sector footprint by sampling data from a selected population raster layer. * Real-Time Distance Tracking: Calculate real-world distances in meters or kilometers dynamically using QGIS distance calculations. * Manual Measurement Ruler: Draw a temporary measurement line to quickly check azimuth and distance between sites or other map locations. * Cell Footprint Generation: Export current sector configurations as polygon vector layers directly to the QGIS map canvas. * Copy Data: Copy sector information such as Azimuth, Beamwidth, and Distance to the clipboard for use in spreadsheets, reports, and other workflows. * Sector Customization: Change individual sector labels, colors, and beamwidths directly from the bearing context menu, or remove a selected bearing when it is no longer needed. * Resizable Protractor: Resize the protractor directly on the map canvas using the mouse wheel. Place the cursor at the center of the protractor ring and scroll up or down to adjust its size. * Custom Visual Styles: Choose from different protractor styles and customize visual elements such as colors, fonts, text, ring size, and sector appearance. * Azimuth Gap Threshold: Set an azimuth gap threshold to help identify potential gaps or clashes between sector bearings during site audits. * Persistent Settings: Visual preferences and selected settings are retained across QGIS sessions. * Bilingual Support: Switch between English and Indonesian through the plugin interface. * Clean Floating Interface: The transparent, map-focused interface keeps the protractor and its tools accessible without unnecessarily blocking the QGIS map canvas. Whether you are checking site azimuths, measuring distances, reviewing sector configurations, or performing RF site audits, Bearing Protractor provides a practical visual workflow directly inside QGIS.
