            In OpenCV, matchTemplate() has a masked mode. So you basically read the transparent template image as is and then extract its base image and the alpha channel. The alpha channel is used as the mask in matchTemplate(). See https://docs.opencv.org/4.1.1/df/dfb/group__imgproc__object.html#ga586ebfb0a7fb604b35a23d85391329be

            Unfortunately, PyAutoGUI can't do this because it only blindly clicks on the screen at x, y coordinates. Unless you know the coordinates of the tab, you won't be able to put it in focus and send key presses to the window.

            I recommend a library like Selenium for doing GUI automation in web browsers.

            How do I get the screen / display resolution?
            Asked 2022-Mar-07 at 09:24

            I am currently working on a game in Rust (Piston Crate) and I want to center the Window it creates. It allows me to change the window's offset from the top left of the screen. I want to get the resolution the operating system works in (screen / display / monitor resolution) and center the window based on that.

            In Python for example, by using pyautogui, you can get the screen resolution using pyautogui.size().

            In Java, by using java.awt, you can get the screen resolution using Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().

            Is there something similar in Rust I could use? (std- or any extern crate)

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-06 at 19:44

            I depends of the backend you use. For example if you use the Winit / Glutin backend you can use the MonitorHandle struct, which has a size() method.

            Docs:https://docs.rs/winit/0.26.1/winit/monitor/struct.MonitorHandle.html

            or for Glutin https://docs.rs/glutin/0.28.0/glutin/window/struct.Window.html#method.available_monitors

            The Glutin module also has a dpi module that can provide information. https://docs.rs/glutin/0.28.0/glutin/dpi/index.html

            If you use SDL2 backend, you could take a look at the sdl2_sys module SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE https://docs.rs/sdl2-sys/0.35.2/sdl2_sys/constant.SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE.html

            Is there anything similar to PyAutoGUI for NodeJS that can try to locate an image inside a screen capture?
            Asked 2022-Mar-03 at 06:01

            I am trying to code a bot to automate some tasks on a videogame with JS and Node, so far I've been using RobotJS. The problem I'm facing is that I need to find something on the screen as it moves from time to time to then click on it. Something similar to PyAutoGUI locateOnScreen() function.

            It needs to use AI to have some tolerance too, as the image will not be exactly the same from time to time, though it's almost the same so I think any basic AI for image recognition would detect it fine.

              Change the file name to "output.mp4"
            • "MP4V" is case sensitive and suppposed to be "mp4v".
            • As gerda commented, the frame size may not be 1920x1080.
            • The else:, break at the end of the loop may break the loop after one frame.
            • cv2.waitKey is not working without using cv2.imshow (without an open windows).
              The loop is not terminated when q is pressed.
              The code may never reach to out.release().
