Hi all.

I trying to test AHK's ImageSearch to a function called locateOnScreen() from pyautogui

locateOnScreen() has a interesting parameter called "confidence", it's similar idea(maybe) to ImageSearch"s *n variation argument.

First of all, by using same image source, locateOnScreen() gives really reliable result, but with ImageSearch I will end up increasing the *n argument until it found result(although it's wrong)

~

So am I using it wrong ~ or there's a trick about using ImageSearch or maybe it's possible to implement a command like locateOnScreen()?

"pyautogui" (A python package based on pyscreeze (I guess pyscreeze based on CV2 and Pillow ~ and I sure Pillow used a lot of HDC stuff, which I think it's possible to implemet in AHK))

yeah, maybe... but most likely not. luckily u need not look any further than the source and docs to find out

there's openCV 2(and now 4) available for ahk, so nothing stopping u using it
