Family-based charuco board generation #1726
Conversation

It seems like the best way to do dynamic generation is using the backend. I know others have said otherwise before, but its not that simple. |

This needs some docs explaining the different families and what is special about them. Is there a real reason to give the user more than 4x4? |
A better question is if there is a real reason to only give them 4x4 when we explicitly support three others. If we support those four families, we should provide boards for those four families imo, even if row/col is not adjustable yet. As the user mentioned in the issue, it is misleading to only generate one board style regardless of tag family setting. I also don't think we should necessarily and urgently be responsible for explaining all that, I'm sure there are better resources for learning about the differences |

#1606
This provides some support for generating charuco calibration boards for the selected config. At the moment there is only row/col size of 8x8, and I am unsure if or how we should allow for dynamic generation based on configured row/col size. For now, at least we can have 8x8 in all families readily available without backend work and prevent misleading board generation behavior. Example of generated file names:
Side fix: A few rendering/spacing issues in calibration view (e.g. showing tag family, marker size, and old opencv pattern when not on charuco board, assuming the current code is correct in assuming they shouldn't be there), and lighter red text on input error.
Disclaimer: I have not yet tested calibrating using these generated images, however I used the same script that was used to make the original that is currently in the code for 4x4 family. Comes directly from opencv library.
