Description

originui provides a tool to modify the origin of a displayed map projection. A marker (dot) is displayed where the origin is currently located. This dot can be moved and the map reprojected with the identified point as the new origin.

originui automatically toggles the current axes into a mode where only actions recognized by originui are executed. Upon exit of this mode, all prior ButtonDown functions are restored to the current axes and its children.

originui on activates origin tool. originui off e-activates the tool. originui will toggle between these two states.
