PixelGetColor range

[scythetleppo]

Hi, little snag.

I am trying to verify if a pixel is red.

What I tried was this:

case (PixelGetColor(80, 553) >= dec("400000") and PixelGetColor(80, 553) <= dec("f20000"))

The problem is, this color registers as true:

8c4810

which is sort of an amber color.

I see looking att the values that the number IS between those values. The way I got those values is in Photoshop I found red and just moved the curser to a darker red (in the color chooser). Obviously this won't work.

My question is, how do I test to see if a pixel is RED, no matter how dark or light, but RED.

I'm sure there is a better way.. but you could try PixelSearching your single pixel for a true red color.. and have a wide shade variation.

PixelSearch ( left, top, right, bottom, color [, shade-variation][, step]] )

Parameters

left left coordinate of rectangle.

top top coordinate of rectangle.

right right coordinate of rectangle.

bottom bottom coordinate of rectangle.

colour Colour value of pixel to find (in decimal or hex).

shade-variation [optional] A number between 0 and 255 to indicate the allowed number of shades of variation of the red, green, and blue components of the colour. Default is 0 (exact match).

step [optional] Instead of searching each pixel use a value larger than 1 to skip pixels (for speed). E.g. A value of 2 will only check every other pixel. Default is 1.
