NAME


visgrep - Visual grep, greps for images in another image

SYNOPSIS


visgrep [options] image.png detect.png match.png ...

DESCRIPTION


visgrep is a program that greps for image in another image.

The detect.png and match.png files can also be .pat files.

All .pat files are created using png2pat(1) or rgb2pat(1). The image.png is scanned for
detect.pat starting from X,Y given in parameters. When detect.pat is found, then all the
match.pat files are scanned at an offset of x,y given in parameters. If a match is found,
then visgrep prints the x,y and index of the item.

For example, image.png is a screenshot and match1.pat .. match5.pat are images of letters
a to e. Each of these letters is enclosed in a blue box, so detect.pat is an image of the
upper left corner of the box. This box is not included in the match*.pat files, so they
are actually offset 5 pixels down and 4 pixels to the left. You might run it like this
then:

visgrep -x-4 -y5 image.png match_corner.pat match_a.pat match_b.bat ...

Etc, with all matches listed. Now suppose the screen showed ace so visgrep might output:

10,10 0
50,10 2
90,10 4

Showing that match_a.pat (index 0) is at 10,10 on the screen. If no match is found even
though the detection image is found, the index will be -1.
