Wrapper around pyautogui - plus some new functions

Build on top of pyautogui but with some extra features:

  • timeouts,
  • setup,
  • aproximate match of images (install manually opencv and numpy if you need this feature),
  • can be oriented to a screen coordonate automation or screen images automation or both

Usage:

Installation

pip install pyrobogui
 

If you are using MAC or Linux checkout pyautogui documentation on how to install tkinter.

Automate the boring stuff book

Usage

from pyrobogui import robo, pag

# use the robo.method() to do what you need 
# pag - is the pyautogui instance, if you need more barebones features

Mouse functions


robo.click(image=None, 
        x=None, 
        y=None, 
        offsetUp=None, 
        offsetDown=None, 
        offsetLeft=None, 
        offsetRight=None, 
        imageError=None, 
        timeout=1800, 
        full_match=False)

Describing the parameters:
Put either:
  • image - path to image

or

  • x - coodonate number
  • y - coordonate number

Additionally you have:

  • offsetUp - make action up from the center specified
  • offsetDown - make action down from the center specified
  • offsetLeft - make action down from the center specified
  • offsetRight - make action down from the center specified
  • imageError - raise error when this image is found in screen while waiting for the image needed
  • timeout - if the seconds specified passes without the image needed to appear then raise error

These parameters are available for the bellow functions too:

  • rightClick
  • doubleClick
  • hover
  • dragTo

Scroll functions

robo.scrollUp(320)

Insert a number for the functions bellow (scroll is noticeable for values over 120)
  • scrollUp
  • scrollDown
  • scrollLeft
  • scrollRight

Keyboard functions

robo.write (text, 
            image=None, 
            x=None, 
            y=None, 
            offsetUp=None, 
            offsetDown=None, 
            offsetLeft=None, 
            offsetRight=None, 
            imageError=None, 
            timeout=1800,
            full_match=False)

Where:
  • text - the string to write on the center of the image or the coordinates specified

For a list of key names you can press check pyautogui documentation

robo.press(keys) # Ex: robo.press("ctrl, c")
  • keys - the hotkeys you want to press, you can press max 3 keys (ex: robo.press("ctrl, alt, delete"))

Additional functions

Start setup to get the x,y coordinates and RGB color from the screen Useful when you want to start an automation process based on x,y coodinates(xy positions must be the same each time the process runs!)

robo.setup()

Wait a number of seconds equivalent to > time.sleep(x)

robo.waitSeconds(5) #wait 5 seconds

Get coordinates of the image:

robo.getImageLocation(image, full_match=False)
  • image - image you need to find on screen
  • full_match - by default if will reduce the match if not found on screen down to 70%. If you set it to True it will try to find on screen an identical match size, colors etc.

Get to coordonates for the images needed.
You can count images of the same type on the screen from UP to DOWN, and LEFT to RIGHT.
robo.imageNeddle(image, imageNr='last') 

Useful for casses where you have images that look the same on the screen but they are positioned in different places.

For example let's say the you have a form with a lot of radio buttons and you want to click on the 5th radio button, you will do:

robo.imageNeddle("./img/radio_button.png", 5)

Also you the options for imageNr parameter:

  • imageNr=5 - returns the specified counted image
  • imageNr='last'
  • imageNr='first'
  • imageNr='all' - returns a list of image locations

Wait functions

robo.waitColorToAppear(xyrgb, imageError=None, timeout=1800) #ex:robo.waitColorToAppear("100, 200, 255, 255, 255") 
robo.waitColorToDisappear(xyrgb, imageError=None, timeout=1800)
  • xyrgb - a string like this "100, 200, 255, 255, 255"
  • imageError - if this image apprears on screen the function will stop
  • timeout - wait for the image to appear a specific number of seconds if that seconds pass then raise error
robo.waitImageToAppear(image, imageError=None, timeout=1800, full_match=False)
robo.waitImageToDisappear(image, imageError=None, timeout=1800, full_match=False)
  • image - image you need on screen
  • imageError - stop if this image is found
  • timeout - stop if takes too long time
  • full_match - by default if will aproximate the image on screen by 70% if you change it to True it will match it 100%

full_match - not on all PC's the rgb colors, image size are the same, they may vary a little; that's way full_match is False by default
