			'''Check IOF minimum dimensions''': Activate this option to check directly during drawing whether the drawn line or area object corresponds to the minimum dimension of the IOF specifications for orienteering maps.

If not, the indication appears red. In this case, an additional percentage indication shows by how much the object is too small.
