calculator panel

[BobWilcoxRKW]

In a future edition, I would like to see a built-in calculator panel.

What do you mean exactly?

For what it's worth, I have a spreadsheet I use that does the math for me when I'm building custom objects, e.g. when overlapping two rectangles and I want the second to be in the centre of the first. For example, if the first rectangle is 100x100 with the top-left node being at point 100/100, and the second rectangle is 50x50, then it's easy to figure that its top-left node should be at 125/125. But that can get really painful to calculate manually, very quickly.

It would also be good to have an output displayed of a line's angle relative to the X or Y axis. For example, if an object is rotated 37.5 degrees anticlockwise, after it's saved, there's no way to know what that angle is so that it can be moved back to horizontal if needed. This sort of thing could be useful when building curved flex parts to fit between turnouts as well.
