Installation

• Put the script in \\.blender\scripts\addons.
• In User Preferences you can see the Add-Ons menu.
• You can activate the script here.
• The script will now show up in the properties panel of the 3d view in the Mesh Display tab.

Instructions

How to use

• Select an object and enter Editmode (tab-key)
• Display the properties panel (N-key)
• Go to the Mesh Display tab, it helps to fold the tabs above it
• Press the 'Visualise indices button'

Buttons

• Visualise indices - this toggles whether the indices are shown or not (press once to activate, press again to de-activate)
  
• Vertices / Edges / Faces - determines of which group(s) to show the indices
  
• Selected only - If toggled, only indices of selected verts/edges/faces are shown
• Live - If toggled, the indices will be automatically update, disabling can speed up performance.

Note
If you change the mesh (selection) in edit-mode with Live option disabled, the indices won't automatically update. You'll have to tab in and out of object mode. This was done to improve the speed of the script.
