VISGREP(1)		    General Commands Manual		    VISGREP(1)

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 im-
       age.png is scanned for detect.pat starting from X,Y  given  in  parame-
       ters.   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 vis-
       grep 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.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included	below.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -x     Set x offset for detection matching.

       -y     Set y offset for detection matching.

       -X     Start scanning at	X.

       -Y     Start scanning at	Y.

       -t     Set tolerance for	'fuzzy'	matches, higher	numbers	are more  tol-
	      erant.

EXIT STATUS
       0      at least one match was made.

       1      no matches were made.

       2      an error occured.
