Thanks a lot for this helpful script

Just one question plese: Is it possible to make function for measuring distance between two custom points "iterative" (like in default measure tool case).

Thanks Miauu

this is possible, but there is only one problem - for how long to stay the text in the viewport
=================================================
could it be toggle? first run - display, second run - hide (this is only possible if script will update length or area automatically)
