A few requests for ephemeris visualization (AstroCalc) #1315

Description

Not urgent!

I wish for a few improvements of the ephemeris visualization in AstroCalc.

  • Being able to change the symbol of the marking. E.g. a cross, a star, a ring, general comet symbol etc.
  • Being able to show markings only when labled. This means that I can choose to show e.g. Hale-Bopp's position from 1997-01-01 to 1997-12-31, with 1 day intervals, but only show the markings at e.g. 10 day intervals. This means the line keeps smooth, but without markings in every breaking point. See this image for a suggestion:

  • Being able to use more customizable labels. For example, I would like to show only day and month, or year and month, or just day and hour.
  • Perhaps some antialiasing of the lines and symbols?
