LocatorAutoCreate
is an option for LocatorPane, Manipulate, and related functions that specifies whether new locators should be created when clicking away from existing locators.

- With LocatorAutoCreate->True, any
Click that does not hit an existing locator will cause a new locator to be created at the position of the click.
Click on an existing locator deletes the locator.

Click that would decrease the number of locators below min or above max will have no effect.
