bool_isInitialized;// indicates if the polygon and refpoint etc. are initialized, prevents reinitialisation from gui and execution of _rebuildTransectsPhase1 during init from gui

bool_referencePointBeingChanged;// is set to true by gui, if user is changeing the reference point
bool_fastRecalc;// see _rebuildTransectsPhase1 for explanation
