Can the version in Resources->Files be updated to the current one?

Hi, nice program.
Can the pixel size go up by one instead of two for the size between the lines (s)?

Not without a major rewrite, and then the cross hairs would not stay centred when you changed the spacing. The command used to draw the cross hairs requires integer input. ATM spacing of 0 give a single line, 2 gives a gap of 1 between the two lines, etc.

To rewrite, would mean having to work out whether the spacing is even or odd, then offset each line by a different number (say, 5 and 6 for a spacing of 11) and the odd spaced cross hairs would not be concentric with the even spaced ones - they would be shifted by 1/2 a pixel.

Even if the commands could handle 1/2 pixel plots, any angled lines would be OK, but any orthogonal ones (vertical or horizontal) would display as double width anyway, so you're back to 3 being the same as 2 with a thicker line.

I don't think there is any real gain to be had in terms of accuracy.

Al.

I was thinking about using it to set the diameter of a defocus star. Then using the images with WinRoddier (optics testing). That one pixel would make it more accurate but it sounds like it would bugger up other features in the software.

Cheers

Al,

Just wanted to say thanks for this beautiful little application. I have StarTarg on an old machine packed away (after moving home) and needed a reticule in an emergency last night (I've finally set up after 4 months of being back in Canberra) and your software did the trick.

I just wanted to ask, if you ever decide to do some more work on the software, is it possible to add a countdown timer like in StarTarg? It'd be a nice-to-have, but, not absolutely necessary.

Thanks, again!

P.S. I'd like to echo Andrew's sentiment above of having the Resources/Files section updated to point to the last build of Al's Reticule.
