Drawing Scripts

in-built functions for key drawing tasks

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
• ClearDraw - Remove all script drawing elements from the frame
• DrawEllipse - Draw an ellipse in the frame
• DrawLine - Draw a line between two points in the frame
• DrawRectangle - Draw a rectangle in the frame
• DrawRegPoly - Draw a regular polygon (eg triangle or octagon) in the frame with option for number of sides
• DrawRoundRectangle - Draw a round cornered rectangle in the frame
• DrawStar - Draw a star in the frame wth option for number of points
• RemovePoint - Remove a point from the contour in the frame
• SetFillColour - Set the fill colour for the script drawing in the frame
• SetLineColour - Set the line colour for the script drawing in the frame
• SetLineStyle - Set the line style for the script drawing in the frame

OpusScript is provided in Opus Pro only and so these functions are not available in Opus Creator.
