Region

Regions in Android Macro allow you to define specific areas on the screen for interaction and recognition. They are useful for limiting where the macro searches for templates or performs actions.

Types of Regions​

1. Basic Region​

A basic Region defines a rectangular area using x, y coordinates and width, height dimensions.

Parameters:

  • x: The horizontal coordinate of the top-left corner
  • y: The vertical coordinate of the top-left corner
  • width: The width of the region in pixels
  • height: The height of the region in pixels

2. Using Regions​

Regions can be used to:

  • Restrict template matching to a specific area
  • Define clickable zones
  • Create boundaries for swipe gestures
  • Optimize performance by reducing the search area
