Array help

[Zer0Velocity 0]

I have a image(bmp) that i want to scan for 1 pixel that might show more than once. I want to store all the results in a array after scan completes, then click all the pixels and removes the array for that 1 click untill the array empyties. How can I do this ?

Thought that this might be easy but guess was wrong

I have the following code for checking the bmp file but it won't find the colour any ideas?

$img = @MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image1.jpg"
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile ($img)
$hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap ($hImage)
$width = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($hImage)
$height = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($hImage)
$colour = 0xEAFCBE
$coord = PixelSearch(0, 0, $width-1, $height-1, $colour, 0, 300, $hBitmap)
If @error Then
        ToolTip("No colours", 0 ,0)
        Else
        For $x = 1 to $coord
                ToolTip("array" & $coord[0] & $coord[1], 0 ,0)
        sleep (2000)
        Next
EndIf

Firstly, PixelSearch ends when it finds the first intance of the colour as far as I know.

Secondly, I dont think the base of an array holds a value ($coord) only the array elements hold values, perhaps you are looking for Ubound($coords).

Thirdly, I'm not convinced you can use Pixelsearch in that manner, it uses a window handle, and creates its own bitmap I think.

I know this isnt helping you (I dont know how to do a recursive pixelsearch (if thats even a thing), but it will give you something to think about.

Not sure if pixelsearch is recursive, but is there anyway to skip current known postitions from previous pixel searches if stored in an array?

[JohnOne 1,603]

It would take a bit of coding.

If your picture was on screen and small, I would just do some pixelgetcolor() on each pixel and store it into an array, then loop through that array.

if it were on screen and huge, I would perfom my pixelsearch line by line.

0>1>2>3>4x5>6>7>8>9>

0>1x2>3>4>5>6>7>8>9>

0>1>2>3>4>5>6>7x8>9>

say the ">" are pixels that are not your color and "x" are your colour.

You would pixelsearch the first row from 0 to 9, when the pixelsearch returns at 4, you would start a new on from 5 to 9, then continue another at the second row from 0 to nine and so on.

Its a few loops, if thens, and suchlike.

Thats 1 way of doing it but think it might be a bit to slow Found a script that oflight coded I think, would this work?

;                   Allows you to limit results by skiping pixels within a given distance to each other.
; Requires:                         None
; Parameters:       $Pixel          Colour value of pixel to find (in decimal or hex).
;                   $XDist          Horizontal distance from found pixel to skip before continueing search (moving right)
;                   $YDist          Vertical distance from found pixel to skip before continueing search (moving down)
;                   $sv             Shade Varience
;                   $SB_l           left coordinate of total area to search. Default is 0 (far left side of screen)
;                   $SB_t           top coordinate of total area to search. Default is 0 (top most Side of screen)
;                   $SB_r           Right coordinate of total area to search. Default is @DesktopWidth (Far Right side of screen)

Thats exactly what you want.

Happy days.

Ok, got the pixelfindall but how do I use this on a JPG screenshot?

[Zer0Velocity 0]

Im trying this but it won't write the postitions to the ini file any ideas?

$i = 0
$colour = 0xFF710C
$TotalSearches = 0 ;For testing speed only

While 1
    $coord1 = _PixelFindAll($colour,0,0,0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight)
    If Not @error Then
        IniWrite(".\Pixel.ini","Main","PixelPos",$coord1)
    $TotalSearches = $TotalSearches+1 ;For testing speed only
    tOOLTIP($TotalSearches)           ;For testing speed only
    EndIf
WEnd

[JohnOne 1,603]

#include <Array.au3>

$i = 0
$colour = 0xFF710C
$TotalSearches = 0 ;For testing speed only

While 1
    $coord1 = _PixelFindAll($colour,0,0,0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight)
    If Not @error Then
        _ArrayDisplay($coord1)
        IniWrite(".\Pixel.ini","Main","PixelPos",$coord1)
    $TotalSearches = $TotalSearches+1 ;For testing speed only
    tOOLTIP($TotalSearches)           ;For testing speed only
    Else
        MsgBox(0,"Error","error")
    EndIf
WEnd

What are the results?

[Zer0Velocity 0]

Just comes up with msgbox error.

[AdmiralAlkex 125]

That IniWrite will never work, $coord1 is a 2d-array, not a simple variable.

[Zer0Velocity 0]

How do I write the postitions to the ini file?

[JohnOne 1,603]

It wouls appear no coord are written to the array

try replacing this

If Not @error Then

with

If IsArray($coord1) Then

[Zer0Velocity 0]

Well getting somewhere now getting the array listview showing the following.

rows col0 col1

[0] 0

1

It's still not putting postitions into the inifile, but more important, I think it's not actually picking up the colour .

[ofLight 1]

Ironically You just missed a Zero

8 inputes to fully specify a searchbox.

_PixelFindAll($pixel[, $XDist, $YDist, $sv, $SB_l, $SB_t, $SB_r, $SB_b])

#include <Array.au3>


$colour = 16777118

$coord1 = _PixelFindAll($colour,0,0,0,0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight)
If IsArray($coord1) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($coord1)
    For $i = 1 to $coord1[0][0]
        IniWrite(".\Pixel.ini","Main","X_PixelPos_"&$i,$coord1[$i][0])
        IniWrite(".\Pixel.ini","Main","Y_PixelPos_"&$i,$coord1[$i][1])
    Next
Else
    MsgBox(0,"Error","error")
EndIf

Edit: forgot to test the ini write part, muh bad

Would like to say thanks guys for all the help on this, really appreciate it
