Probably a stupid question...

I want to know how you select the coordinates when using PixelSearch.

The help file tells me this:

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

left - left coordinate of rectangle.

top - top coordinate of rectangle.

right - right coordinate of rectangle.

bottom - bottom coordinate of rectangle.

What exactly is the left, top, right and bottom of the rectangle?

Is it that 'top' and 'bottom' are y coordinates and 'left' and 'right' are x?

Or maybe I'm completely wrong?

Thanks in advance >_<

Edit: LOL y and x mixed up... I'm pretty tired...

Left , top are the coordinates of the left-top corner of the rectangle.

Right-bottom are the coordinates of the Right-bottom corner of the rectangle.

Try something like : 10,10,200,300 .

I have never used PixelSearch, but it seems you got the x and y coordinates correct. If you run the example script from the help file, it will help you to discover what is happening. The left, top, right and bottom of the rectangle refer to the position of a rectangle on your screen. If you choose left = 0, top = 0, bottom = @DesktopHeight and right = @DesktopWidth, then the whole screen area will be searched.
