Notes

The markings are cumulative – when you can mark multiple tiles or areas in turn, using any syntax desiredtiles, those already marked will remain marked. For example, you could mark a specific tile then an area, and both the tile and the area will now be marked.

When the function is called without parameters, all markings are cleared. It's not currently possible to unmark specific tiles or areas.

Tip: You can use the Javascript Debugger to highlight tiles associated with Labels.

Example

// syntax #2: single tile

// syntax #3: area co-ordinates
