#558 new enhancement
Highlight Layers

Description
Allow the user to create layers on the fly where the layer shows a circular or rectangular area. These areas can either be 'drawn' on screen using the mouse, based on a radius or distance from a given lat/long, or based around a point source in a vector layer. The user should be able to also select the colour/texture and give the ayer a name.
I would use this for identifying/highlighting areas of interest.

I would add allowing the user to rotate the feature, i.e., drawing an initial rectangle of a given size that could be interactively refined afterwards, including rotation. I think that this would be best included within the Edit tools. Agus

The latest request seems partially a duplicate of #1787. I leave this note for the developers, for when they will a look at this enhancement.
Sounds like a nice idea for a plugin. I'm putting this against milestone 2.0.0 though since its not something we will have time to implement within 1.0 release.
