Description

Description:: Selects shape (actual type) of the marker. Non-existing marker shape defaults to "RECTANGLE".
Multiplayer:: ⓘ
Multiplayer optimisation: Global marker commands always broadcast the entire marker state over the network. As such, the number of network messages exchanged when creating or editing a marker can be reduced by performing all but the last operation using local marker commands, then using a global marker command for the last change (and subsequent global broadcast of all changes applied to the marker).
Groups:: Markers
