Description

In case of a single axis with multiple markers AND random initial positions, users sometimes get confused when they can't find a certain marker. Perhaps there could be a 'fix' here which checks whether some of these markers are in (almost) the same position, so that one could be nudged/repositioned.

History

#1 Updated by Nicholas Jillings about 8 years ago

Perhaps the markers could have a border to help identify when they are partially overlapped. Will look into this in code, perhaps triggering a repeat of the random placement.

Markers now have borders to help distinguish them.
