Feature request - Two point definition of regions #63

What a great tool! To profit from its functionality also on tablets or smartphones, it would be great if the regions could also be defined by two points (left-upper and right-lower corner of an rectangle and center-point and radius for a circle). The "left-click and draw" works well on a computer with mouse, but on a touch screen the "draw" is interpreted as moving the screen.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that the current interface doesn't work on a touch interface. Your suggestion sounds reasonable, and I will consider adding it as a future enhancement.

For it to be fully useful, I believe the OctoPrint gcode viewer would also need to be enhanced to enable touch support, as I don't believe that supports zoom or pan on a touch interface either.
