How to restrict a search to a specific region

Asked by Jeff Sant

I am selecting a region on screen and want Sikuli to only find and click the images available in this region, but this is not working

eg.

Region(112,777,71,137)
if exists(some_image,180):
 click(getLastMatch())

i have also tried with the click(image) but that also doesn't work.

As the sceen has so many exactly similar images, Sikuli is behaving randomly.

Any suggestions?

Pls. do me a favor and have a look at the docs to understand some basic features.

many options:
--- setROI()
--- reg.exists(), reg.click(), reg.getLastMatch()
--- with reg:

all in the docs.

Your case using with:

with Region(112,777,71,137):
    if exists(some_image,180):
        click(getLastMatch())

I saw the documents but was unable to understand thats why requested you to help me out.

The solution you gave is not working for me, its still clicking out of the region, any other solution?
