17748	Enhancement PicLayer Plugin	rebsc	rebsc	"Hi there,

with [https://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/35005/subversion [o35005]] I've committed some new functionality for the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/PicLayer PicLayer] plugin. It helps you to speed up the calibration of an image (preferably floorplans) into world coordinates. 
To use this functionality you'll need the image to calibrate, some building dimensions and a file (.osm or .gpx) which stores the final coordinates to know where to locate the image on world map.
The auto-calibration uses already implemented modes of   [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/PicLayer PicLayer] plugin to calibrate.

Whats different to the manual use?
 * it's faster
 * higher accuracy
 * the insered distances helps you to not deform the image because the image is often more accurate than the given outline (this is why the calibration result often does not fit exactly into the given world coordinates).

There is already a very short description of how to use the auto-calibration in help browser:  [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Plugin/PicLayer PicLayer help].
A documentation on [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/PicLayer PicLayer] will follow soon.

I would like to hear some feedback!
