Set the line type the size , and the line colour of the circles and square shapes you have selected.

The size of the circles and the square are defined by radius.

Crosshair

Choose whether or not to display a crosshair. The crosshair can be measured as a percentage of the screen, or as a specified length (the default is 10) measured in grid units.

If you have chosen the latter, you can specify an interval to display tick marks along each axis.

Set the line type the size , and the colour of the crosshair lines.

Use the Middle gap check box to enable or disable the gap in the middle of the crosshair
