Finding Screen Coordinates

[hodgepodge]

This will be a quick fix...I just need to figure out the screen coordinates for the Pixelsearch function. However, how do I find the coordinates? I am not looking for a way for the user to define the area of the search, the area is already programmed into the script. I figured I'd use the window info tool, yet that returns a Cartesian coordinate where the function calls for a single number...

Im sure someone knows the answer, so...Thanks in advance

edit: Oh, I think I may have the answer....

Say I am looking at the left side...I would just take the X coord....Right?

hodgepodge,

The Info tool will give you coodinates in this form 984,561. These are horizontal (x) and vertical (y) coordinates. So you need to measure the top-left and bottom right of the rectangle, as shown here:

x1,y1-------------------------------------------
|                                             |
|                                             |
|                                             |
|--------------------------------------------x2,y2

Then in PixelSearch you enter the coordinates thus:

PixelSearch ( x1, y1, x2, y2, etc........)

Does no--one do basic geometry anymore?

Oh, ok

I was wondering why the function doesn't simply do those 2 corners...But I guess it does... xD
