How to select the target region in the screen shot

I don't claim I understood question very well and thus answering this question correctly, but in Sikuli, region is set by clicking Create Region button on the top of the IDE apart from creating manually. Refer this -

http://sikuli.org/docx/region.html#creating-a-region-setting-and-getting-attributes

this link has all the information about region in sikuli.

Pavan,
let me explain in detail.i am not using Sikuli IDE for capturing the images.
i am directly importing the Sikuli package in eclipse for my Java code .
 in the above code that i got from google i see they have specifed the image
for click method.
Now my doubt since i am not using sikuli IDE how can i specify the target
region.OR whether i need to take the images from Sikuli and then specify the
path in my java code.

so please explain how to do this.

@ Santosh

I fully agree with Parva:

look at the docs at http://sikuli.org/docx
to understand, how Sikuli works.

Then make some tests and trials in Sikuli IDE, to get a feeling for what it means to capture a visual object, that is to be used to find or click something on the screen.

Finally you will be able, to transform your examples to Java code, after you have decided for one of the different methods to tell Sikuli where to look for images to be used for finding.

Santosh
Try this.

import org.sikuli.script.*;
public class TestSikuli {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Screen s = new Screen();
                Pattern pImage = new Pattern("imgs/spotlight.png").targetOffset(-10,0);
                Match r = s.exists(pImage,1);
                try{
                        s.click(r, 0);
                        s.wait("imgs/spotlight-input.png");
                        s.type(null, "hello world\n", 0);
                }
                catch(FindFailed e){
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
        }
}
