Triangle, circle ruler

Many users asked for a ruler but in my opinion it makes more sense to add a triangle ruler as a new funktion, because then you can't only measure lenghts, but also measure angles and draw straight.
Especially in math or physics classes, you often have to measure or draw angles.
And putting your physical triangle ruler on the iPad isn't a nice long-term solution, is it?
Therefore I would be happy about a triangle ruler funktion in GoodNotes 5 :D.

    Different rulers, such as a triangle and a circle, would be a useful addition.

    I would like to suggest adding two new tools: a geo triangle and a compass. These tools would significantly enhance the functionality of the app, particularly for mathematical tasks. A geo triangle would make it easier to draw precise angles and lines, while a compass would allow users to create accurate circles and arcs. Both tools would be invaluable for students and improve their learning experience.

    Additionally, I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

    Thank you for considering these improvements!

    Greetings, Lian

    The ruler in 6.2.7 is great, but a TRIANGLE RULER as a ruler option would be absolutely great. Thanks!

    I am a math teacher and i would like to have a triangle ruler and a circle to construct triangles with my students and other geometric forms.

    to measure and draw angles

    this would be perfect, as en engineer you need this a lot ..

    This would really be a good thing.
    The triangle ruler would need the ability to
    - can be rotated
    - can be adjusted to the scaled
    - can be fixed in size when rotating (images and stickers can not be fixed)

    Furthermore we could use this as a mathematical compass (german: Zirkel). If we could choose a radius on the scale of the triangle to draw a line, we could rotate the triangle ruler and draw circles.

    Would be super nice for everything regarding geometry.

    Pleeeeeease! :-)

    GoodNotes needs a triangle ruler for the home schooling! An example for this function you can find in the APP "Digitales Schulbuch" (GooglePlay)

    Goodnotes needs a triangle ruler and an linear feature
