Hi,

I'm a heavy user of the calibration grid. But the styles of the grips bother me a lot, because they often hides my calibration marks on the track. After some digging in the code and reading this thread https://www.kinovea.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1073 I was able to change the ellipse of the handles to a crosshair. In addition, I have marked the origin (this is always D?) of the calibration grid with a circle, since the running direction plays a role in my analysis.

Are you interested in the code and should I send a pull request?

After more digging, I also found the xml files for the drawingtools styles. Is it easy to add more options there or does the kva format/version have to be changed as well?

Greeting,
Christian

Yes, that's a good change. Please send a pull request.

For the XML files it depends on the tools, some of them are explicitly described and others are just referencing an internal class and use the XML only to describe styling options. What kind of options do you want to add?

I thought it might be interesting to toggle between the circles and the crosses as handles and have an option to hide the origin. But I'm not sure if you really need the options.
I had some problem with github last week. Today I will send you the pull request.
