Basic Scripting Techniques.

Below are some articles that cover the basic techniques.

Finding Colors

Outline of SCAR's Color Finding procedures.

FindColor

Function FindColor(var x, y: integer; color, xs, ys, xe, ye: Integer): Boolean;

Returns the result true if it finds the "color" in the specified area "xs, ys, xe, ye"

FindColorTolerance

Function FindColorTolerance(var x, y: integer; color, xs, ys, xe, ye: Integer; Tolerance: Integer): Boolean;

Same as FindColor, except it has a tolerance so similar colors may be found. The higher the tolerance, the more of an offset the color can be.

FindColorSpiralTolerance

Function FindColorSpiralTolerance(var x, y: integer; color, xs, ys, xe, ye: Integer; Tolerance: Integer): Boolean;

Same as FindColorTolerance, but searches in a circular spiral starting from the centre of the specified area and works outwards.

FindColorsSpiralTolerance

FindColorsSpiralTolerance(x, y: integer; var Points: TPointArray; color, xs, ys, xe, ye: Integer; Tolerance: Integer)

Will find colors in a spiral like FindColorTolerance, except returns an array of points from where the color was found as the "points" TPA.
