Documentation of "Use()" command

Asked by Nicolas LEGOUPIL

I hope it's not already answered/documented, but as you can imagine it's hard to find relevant results with "use" keyword in search.

There is no documentation about the "Use()" command which seems to be really useful, especially in multi-monitor environment ; the only article I found about it is this one :
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/708296

For example, I would like to know which is the current "default screen region" set in the running session (IDE or script) ; let's take this code and assume the command I'm looking for is "getCurrentDefaultScreen()":

getCurrentDefaultScreen() #should return 0 or 1, depending of the setup
use(Screen(2))
getCurrentDefaultScreen() #should return 2
use()
getCurrentDefaultScreen() #should return same as first line

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance

Sorry for the delay.

No such feature, but this might help to make your own function:

showMonitors()
s0 = use()
print SCREEN.getID()
s1 = use(Screen(1))
print SCREEN.getID()

SCREEN always is the current default Screen object and getID() returns its current monitor ID.

The "use()" command in SikuliX changes the active screen or region for your script. To get the current default screen, there isn't a direct built-in command like "getCurrentDefaultScreen()". You can use Screen.getBounds() or similar methods to detect the active screen.
