Global ObjectScanning and DetectionFactory Global

Region(x, y, w, h)

An area of the screen to search and act in. Region(x, y, w, h) creates a Region object (Region() is the whole screen); find, click, wait, read and the geometry methods are called on that object with a colon.

Documented for app version 1.0.51Updated:

Detailed Explanation

This section explains when to use the API, how to call it, and which structures it works best with in production flow.

How To Call It

Region is a callable factory table: object methods are called as region:<method>(...), and the table’s own functions as Region.<method>(...).

When To Use It

In detection flow, refresh the screen with Snap.screenRefresh() first, then narrow the search area and confidence using Region and FindParam.

Parameters and Return

Region offers 79 methods; each method page lists its parameters and return value.

Best Combined With

It is typically combined with Snap, Region, Asset, and FindParam; you can feed the result into quickTap(), click(), or a follow-up OCR step.

Example Usage

The snippet below is a starter pattern that can be applied directly in runtime flow.

lua
Try in Editor →
local area = Region()
local hit = area:find(Asset.image("ok_button"))
if hit then quickTap(hit) end

Copyable Progressive Examples

From foundation to combined usage, each level is provided as a separate code block so you can copy the level you need and adapt it directly.

Foundation

Shows the shortest direct way to call the API.

Foundation
lua
Try in Editor →
local area = Region()
local hit = area:find(Asset.image("ok_button"))
if hit then quickTap(hit) end

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple
lua
Try in Editor →
local area = Region()
local hit = area:find(Asset.image("ok_button"))
if hit then quickTap(hit) end

-- Continue with one focused method on the object.

Practical Flow

A practical pattern for real macros with pcall, logging, and guards.

Practical Flow
lua
Try in Editor →
local area = Region()
local hit = area:find(Asset.image("ok_button"))
if hit then quickTap(hit) end
local note = "Region overview loaded"
print(note)

Detailed

This level packages the API into a reusable helper with error reporting.

Detailed
lua
Try in Editor →
-- In detection flow, refresh the screen with Snap.screenRefresh() first, then narrow the search area and confidence using Region and FindParam.
local function run_region_step()
  local area = Region()
  local hit = area:find(Asset.image("ok_button"))
  if hit then quickTap(hit) end
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_region_step)
if not ok then
  toast("Step failed")
  print(err)
end

Combined

Combines the API with related structures to form a more realistic workflow.

Combined
lua
Try in Editor →
Snap.screenRefresh()
local area = Region()
local hit = area:find(Asset.image("ok_button"))
if hit then quickTap(hit) end
toast("Detection step completed")
