Hide markers frames

mikamar

Hi-

I noticed that on latest versions (i tried on 0.30.5), markers frames always show when adding a marker to LayoutView (0.28.5 does not do that).
Is there a way to turn off marker frames?
I also tried to set the frame color to be the same as the background color but it sets both the marker and the frame.

Thanks!

def addTextMarker(self,layoutView, x,y,string,color):
  m = pya.Marker(layoutView)
  bgColor = pya.QColor(layoutView.get_config("background-color"))
  m.color = color.red*65536 + color.green*256 + color.blue
  m.frame_color = bgColor.red*65536 + bgColor.green*256 + bgColor.blue      
  m.set_text(pya.DText(string,pya.DTrans(pya.DPoint(x,y))))   
  m.line_width = 10

Hi @mikamar,

right now, there is no option to turn that off. The box was introduced when the labels became non-point objects. They indicate the "active" area of a text - i.e. the one where you select the text from. So it was important to show that in the marker, for example once you have selected it. The frame shares the color with the text. The frame replaces the single dot that was drawn at the origin of the text.

To disable that I need to introduce a new configuration option for the marker. If you like, you can raise a ticket on GitHub for introducing that option. I will implement it for the next minor release then.
