Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible in ARToolKit+ to use rectangle 
markers (i.e. non-square). I've noticed that the template classes e.g. 
TrackerMultiMarkerImpl have a __PATTERN_SIZE_X and __PATTERN_SIZE_Y 
attributes. Can we use this iot use rectangle markers? Otherwise, well, 
I'd like to implement this feature, but it'd help if I'd know a bit 
where to look. Any insights?

Thanks,

The PATTERN_SIZE_X and PATTERN_SIZE_Y attributes are for the resolution
of the marker image (in pixels) not for the physical size of the marker.

While it should be no problem to extend ARTK+ to support non-square
markers, i'd rather suggest using multi-markers for that purpose...

I can't do that. I'm working on an interactive installation and the 
visual aspect is important, and for that reason I can't use multi-markers.
I'll dig into the code then... I might later have some interesting patch 
to send back to the project!

Thanks,
