The Highlight Location action highlights a location on screen. This can be specially useful for finding the mouse pointer.

There are several parameters to set.

Highlight location with:

  • Rectangle.
  • Oval.
  • Target.

Choose the horizontal and vertical location to highlight. The action defaults to MOUSEX() and MOUSEY() which will highlight the mouse pointer. Instead you may choose to enter a value in pixels to highlight a portion of the screen.

Choose the width and height in pixels for the hilite shape.

Enter a number in the display for text area or choose a number from the stepper to control how long the animation stays on screen.

Note: rectangles are drawn from the top left, the width and height are specified. Ovals and targets are specified from the centre and have a horizontal and vertical radius.
