draw annotations on X11

Description
Gromit-MPX (GRaphics Over MIscellaneous Things) is a small tool to make
annotations on the screen. Its main use is for making presentations of some
application. Normally, you would have to move the mouse pointer around the
point of interest until hopefully everybody noticed it. With Gromit-MPX, you
can draw everywhere onto the screen, highlighting some button or area.

OpenBSD README
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running gromit-mpx on OpenBSD +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- System tray icon ================ The OpenBSD package of gromit-mpx currently does not include support for the system tray icon. However, it can be controlled entirely through the command line. For example, `gromit-mpx -t` toggles gromit-mpx on/off and `gromit-mpx -c` clears previous scribbles. See the gromit-mpx(1) manual for further options. Interference with desktop environments ====================================== Some desktop environments (e.g. XFCE) will interfere with gromit-mpx's ability to grab its hot keys (F8 and F9 by default). In these cases it may be easiest to set the hotkeys to an obscure key (e.g. "Pause") and configure keyboard shortcuts for the desktop environment that invoke gromit-mpx. In your gromit-mpx.cfg: ``` HOTKEY = "Pause"; UNDOKEY = "Pause"; ``` Then configure key bindings that call `gromit-mpx(1)` in your desktop environment. Using a compositor ================== You should probably use a compositor with gromit-mpx. "When there is no compositing manager such as Compiz or xcompmgr running, Gromit-MPX falls back to a legacy drawing mode. This may drastically slow down your X-Server, especially when you draw very thin lines. It makes heavy use of the shape extension, which is quite expensive if you paint a complex pattern on screen. Especially terminal-programs tend to scroll incredibly slow if something is painted over their window."
