Drawing shapes

[RampantDespair]

Is it possible to draw shapes and/or lines through a plugin?
Like simply drawing a line from X to Y on screen.

What do you need?
1) Helper UI object that wouldn't be rendered to output;
2) Source modification.

Source modification possible even through the scripts, example:

Spoiler: Lua script that adds new Filter to draw 2 crossed lines over the source

Yes, you can draw shapes and lines using a plugin. This means you can create a feature that allows you to draw a line from one point to another on the screen.
