Script interface "Draw" feature included in render

I may have suggested this before but it would be a huge benefit.

There is a script interface element that is used for drawing things on the screen like, bounding boxes, highlighting points, shapes, lines etc. These don't render obviously... but if they could it would be amazing.

I was playing with Fazek's bezier line tool experiment. Imagine if those types of things could be rendered. It could be used to add features never dreamed of for AS.

there is no chance to do it in the current version of AS?
the true is i don't understand well (i remember i played with fazek's experiments, but I really didn't understand what was going on)

No those draw features aren't included in the "render buffer" or whatever it might be called. I don't know hard it would be to include it. To be really useful it would probably need to be anti aliased when rendered as well.

I use the same "draw" feature to colorize bones using extensive script mods for all of my tools. I also have a simple "low res text" script using the same technique. It places text near bones. Great for labeling things... but of course it doesn't print.

oh, now I understand... uhm, that feature would work even to make tutorials.
