Customizable icon for position marker

[yucai2005]

Hi Tom,

The current icon for position marker looks good. However, sometimes it can be crowded when there are a lot of position markers in a small area. Would it be better if the icons for position markers are customizable? For example, dots, circles, crosses, stars, or squares with adjustable size, line width, line colour, filling colour, etc.

And thank you for your great work on this package!

Kind Regards

That's a good idea, I will try to implement different shapes in the next time.

I'll be working on unit icons such as tank, airplane, airport, infantry unit, etc. If and when I complete this, i'll send an update

In the meantime, you can shrink the current icon at each of the zoom levels and that should help massively, just look into the code there is sizing in there.

I added an icon attribute now with version 1.16, where you can pass a PhotoImage object, which will replace the standard location marker: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/TkinterMapView#create-position-markers

Here is an example program: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/TkinterMapView/blob/main/examples/map_view_marker_icon_images.py
