Marker info parent element
The details for each marker line is stored in two elements. Therefore a “marker_info” parent element is used
to enclose the details for each marker line. This element does not include any tags and must be enclosed
within a marker parent element.

startx: The line’s x axis starting point. Integer values between 1 and 2560 are supported.
endx: The line’s x axis ending point. Integer values between 1 and 2560 are supported.
starty: The line’s y axis starting point. Integer values between 1 and 1440 are supported.
endy: The line’s y axis ending point. Integer values between 1 and 1440 are supported.
Structure the element as follows:
<marker_pos startx="INTEGER" endx="INTEGER" starty="INTEGER"
