Notes for scale marker

  • is only one, displayed in all windows and/or used in same way when ‘save area as image’ (image is just a big or small window)
    • implies should be saved in .ini

  • is a sprite, so can be dragged to move (for example) and right-clicked for properties
    • always present (created on application start), but not always drawn

  • initially shown if test, later a menu item (maybe Settings → Scale marker ... [Hide being a checkbox in dialog])

  • ticks as per units; units adjusted to ‘nice’ numbers; two units allowed, if all three then don’t show Nauticsl

NB: currently drawn with same opacity as Marks.

User settings (later)

  • offset X, Y (negative being from top/right) – set by drag

  • width W
    • pixels (max W pels)
    • (maybe .. would need to be saved separately?) percent (max W%)

  • other attributes: style, colour, thickness of lines ... should use Properties?
