And welcome here!

Many thanks!

In general, if there is a "graphical" command that involves drawing onto the screen, such a command comes in two flavors: COMMAND, and COMMAND_P where the "_P" suffix denotes pixel-level coordinates. Otherwise, you will have to rely on the current user's settings to determine where to draw (which can be a headache especially if their settings change a lot or do not match up with your expected values).
