While experimenting with the Windows Api I created a paint app that lets you draw right onto your screen which is controllable from the command-line.
Use the paint
command with one or more of the following parameters
-help, -h
This shows a parameter list like this one.
-brush, -b
You can use this to customize the brush. Any word works as a brush or you can use the presets: square
, circle
, error
, warning
, info
or use -file, -f
to choose a image as a brush. The default brush is square.
-size, -s
You can use this to control the radius of the brush in px. The default value is 20px.
-colour -c
You can use this to change the colour of the brush. Most colours will work with this.
-time, -t
You can use this to control the amount of time you want to paint for in seconds. The maximum value is 30.
Here is an exmaple of using the command:
Using paint -b warning -s 55 -t 30
will give you this:
