[Sikuli-driver] [Question #270582]: Problems setting Setting.WaitScanRate in Sikuli 1.0.1
New question #270582 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/270582
Hello,
I have searched the forums and while I have read posts that seem to apply to
the problem I am having, I can not nail down a workable solution. I am using
Sikuli 1.0.1, and I am coding in Java on a Windows 7 machine. I am also fairly
new to coding in Java and using Sikuli.
My problem is this:
I have an array of 10 small images (10x15 pixles in size) that I iterate
through looking for a match using r.exists and when a match NOT found there
seems to be a delay of ~300 ms before the next check is made.
Here is the code:
int i =0;
for(Pattern p : pNumberArray){
if(r.exists(p.similar(.9f), 0) != null){
System.out.println(library.getTime() + Image Found: + p);
return i;
}
System.out.println(library.getTime() + Image not found: + p);
i++;
}
Here is the result when I run the above code.
12:19:01:032 Image not found
12:19:01:365 Image not found
12:19:01:698 Image not found
12:19:02:031 Image not found
12:19:02:364 Image not found
12:19:02:697 Image not found
I was hoping using a 0 for (r.exists(p/similar(.9f), 0) would fix the 300ms
delay problem but it does not.
I then read up on 'Settings.AutoWaitTimeout'
(https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/251337) but ruled it out as not
applicable in my case. As I understand it, using the 0 in
(r.exists(p/similar(.9f), 0) forces a one time check of the image and
immediately returns the match if found or NULL if not
(https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/251337), so there should be NO
delay in a response whether an image is found or not.
Searching forum posts turned me on to 'Settings.ScanRate'
(https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/194144) so I tried setting
'Settings.WaitScanRate = 100;' so that it would search for a match for no more
than .01 seconds and return the result, but changing that setting had no
effect. I also tried a variety of values including, 500, 1, .1f, and .01f but
the results when running the code above was always the same with ~300 ms delay.
So all that being said, that leads to my questions:
1) I assumed that setting the timeout to 0 when using exists on a region
(r.exists(p/similar(.9f), 0) would result in NO delay in a response whether an
image is found or not. That is not the case. Why is there a ~300 when the
timeout is set to 0?
2) I assumed that setting 'Settings.WaitScanRate = 100;' would force a search
result at the end of .01 seconds. It does not. Am I missing something about
how this works?
3) One post I read mentioned that there used to be an issue setting the values
of Settings fields wouldn't work because the variables used a 'protected'
modifier, but I can change the value and see the results of modifying the value
between 'Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 1;' and 'Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 0;' so
that leads me to believe that I can change the value of Settings fields. Is
the 'Settings.WaitScanRate' indeed a protected variable and one that I cannot
change?
I spent hours and hours and hours reading forum posts and experimenting with
different code combinations but I can't get rid of the ~300ms delay when an
image is NOT found.
Thanks in advance for any wise words of wisdom!

to actually search for a match in the region is it?
I spent hours and hours and hours reading forum posts and experimenting

when an image is NOT found.

[Sikuli-driver] [Question #235137]: Cannot match an on-screen image while using a pattern created with BufferedImage
New question #235137 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/235137
Hello,
I am a relative newcomer to Java coding and Sikuli both so please keep that in
mind as you try to guide me on my way! Also, before coming here, I searched
through existing questions on this site and many others, but have been unable
to find something that explains a solution in a way that I understand.
Using Eclipse, I am attempting to write stand alone executable in Java that
searches for images and clicks on them using org.sikuli.script classes but I
cannot seem to get either an executable jar or exe version of my code to match
images on-screen. In Eclipse, when I create a pattern using relative path
names the script matches the image on-screen. For example, if I do:
Pattern imagePattern = new Pattern(src/Images/PizzleField.PNG);
or
Pattern imagePattern = new Pattern(bin/Images/PizzleField.PNG);
Then run my script within Eclipse, the script will find the above image without
a problem. But, if I right click my project and Export as a runnable JAR file
then attempt to run that JAR file, the image is no longer found. If I unzip
the executable JAR, I can see that the Images directory with all of the images
is there so the image are definitely being added to the JAR file. My research
has led to look at using something along the lines of:
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(Images/PizzleField.PNG);
to handle resources that are stored in a JAR file. Since it looks like I can
create a Pattern using a BufferedImage, I have tried to use that to access and
manipulate the images in my executable JAR file. Here is the code I am
currently toying with to try and get this to work in Eclipse:
public boolean test() throws Exception {
URL imageURL =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(Images/PizzleField.PNG);
String imageString = imageURL.toString();
BufferedImage imageBuffered = ImageIO.read(imageURL);
System.out.println(imageURL is: + imageURL);
System.out.println(imageString is: + imageString);
System.out.println(imageBuffered is: + imageBuffered);
Pattern imagePattern= new Pattern(imageBuffered);
//(bin/Images/PizzleField.PNG);
Screen newScreen = new Screen();
float floatPercentage = convertIntMatchToFloatMatch(80);
System.out.println(=Searching for image: +
imageBuffered);//bin/Images/PizzleField.PNG);
if(newScreen.exists(imagePattern.similar(floatPercentage), 3)
!= null){
System.out.println(+Found image: +
imagePattern);
}
else{
System.out.println(ERROR: Could not find an onscreen
match for the following image + imagePattern);
}
}
When I run that code in Eclipse, the output I get is:
imageURL is: file:/C:/eclipseprojects/ffauto/ffauto/bin/Images/PizzleField.PNG
imageString is:
file:/C:/eclipseprojects/ffauto/ffauto/bin/Images/PizzleField.PNG
imageBuffered is: BufferedImage@7646bb9f: type = 6 ColorModel: #pixelBits = 32
numComponents = 4 color space = java.awt.color.ICC_ColorSpace@1dc80063
transparency = 3 has alpha = true isAlphaPre = false ByteInterleavedRaster:
width = 326 height = 22 #numDataElements 4 dataOff[0] = 3
=Searching for image: BufferedImage@7646bb9f: type = 6 ColorModel:
#pixelBits = 32 numComponents = 4 color space =

isAlphaPre = false ByteInterleavedRaster: width = 326 height = 22
#numDataElements 4 dataOff[0] = 3
ERROR: Could not find an onscreen match for the following image P(--
BufferedImage --) S: 0.8
It looks like the imagePattern using the buffered image displays the contents
of the image in the console log, but it never finds a match. If I change:
Pattern imagePattern = new Pattern(imageBuffered);
to
Pattern imagePattern = new Pattern(bin/Images/PizzleField.PNG);
so that the pattern is based on a String instead of a BufferedImage, then a
match is found on-screen.
What am I doing wrong in the code above that is preventing my BufferedImage
based Pattern to fail to find a match?
My Project Heirarchy is:
FFAuto

After reading your response I just want to make sure I am clear on what it means. When you say: “There is no other solution available currently for images inside a jar, so your app would only work inside eclipse with regular image file names relative to the project folder.” It pretty much means that if I export my code as a runnable JAR that has images saved inside of it, that I will not be able to get Sikuli to use the images stored in that JAR file to match an image on-screen even if I use something like ‘this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(resouce)’ or try to point Sikulu to the images inside the JAR file using relative paths. As I understand it, my 2 options are: 1) Keep my images outside of the JAR file and point Sikuli at those using either String Patterns or BufferedImage patterns 2) Patiently wait for the BufferedImage fix to be implemented (I would be happy to wait by the way!) Is this correct? (Since I have spent so much time trying to get this to work I want to be very clear on what my options are moving forward.
