OpusScript now includes a set of functions to perform drawing actions. This allows you to create simple drawing tools for lines and shapes. More importantly it also allows you to create and manipulate lines and shapes for graphs and diagrams.

The drawing functions allow to program a simple highlight pen for whiteboard or presentation publications. This allows the user to highlight particular elements in a live publication without having additional software or running the Opus editor. It also allows you to program line graphs, bar charts, Set diagrams and so on which can be manipulated or updated without republishing.

Basic drawing functions available are...

• AddPoint - Add a point to the current contour in the frame
