NAME
     xautomation  -  control  X  from  the  command line, and find things on the
     screen

DESCRIPTION
     xautomation is a set of command lines programs to control X and do  "visual
     scraping"	to find things on the screen. The control interface allows mouse
     movement, clicking, button up/down, key up/down, etc, and	uses  the  XTest
     extension	so  you  don't have the annoying problems that xse has when apps
     ignore sent events. The visgrep program find images inside  of  images  and
     reports  the  coordinates,  allowing  programs to find buttons, etc, on the
     screen to click on.

     xautomation consists in the following programs:

     pat2ppm
	    Converts an image file from PAT to PPM format.

     patextract
	    Extract a part of a PNG image file.

     png2pat
	    Converts an image file from PNG to PAT format.

     rgb2pat
	    Converts an image file from 24-bit RGB to PAT format

     visgrep
	    Visual grep, greps for images in another image.

     xte    Generates fake input using the XTest extension.

     For more information, please see the individual manpages of these programs.
