This interface can be accessed using the ![Position icon](https://git.ad5001.eu/Ad5001/LogarithmPlotter/raw/branch/master/LogarithmPlotter/qml/eu/ad5001/LogarithmPlotter/icons/common/position.svg) button that can be seen on certain object editing rows. + +List of supported objects: +- Points +- Texts +- X Cursors¹ + +![Pointer interface screenshot](https://apps.ad5001.eu/img/en/logarithmplotter/pointer.png) + +Click on the desired location to apply it to the selected object. + +¹ Note: X Cursor only allow for X positioning so you will only see the vertical bar associated with it. + +## Settings +There are two settings available on the interface: + +The "Pointer precision" setting allow you to set the amount of digits of precision of the cursor. For example, a pointer with a precision digit of `2` will round all pointed position to `2` digits after the decimal point. Setting a precision to `0` will tound all positions to integers. + +The "Snap to grid" checkbox rounds the selected position to the nearest intersection of the grid. It's useful for logarithmic scales when you want to quicly select a rounded logarithmic location at a few hundreds or thousands. +
