Feature: Display size of resulting grid boxes

[thomas-shares]

Hi,
I think it would be really useful to display the size of the resulting boxes. If I am making parking spaces and I can't exactly count the number of spaces from the aerial data it would help if the height x width of the resulting box would be displayed. This give me another bit of information in sizing the boxes correctly (as most parking spaces are about 2 meters wide and about 5 long.

ps. and thank you for this great tool!!! very handy indeed for parking spaces.

That is a good idea, though there is a small catch: Gridify works on any quadrilateral (4-node shape), not just perfect rectangles.

If the user selects a skewed shape (e.g., a trapezoid where the top edge is 2m and the bottom is 4m), there is no single "width" value. We would likely need to calculate and display the average width and height to give a useful approximation.

In fact, I have a work in progress solution for this.
