If you can not localize Controls in any way, you can now use the ANA.-Command to work on a graphical Patterns. This way you can localize things any way.

Also ANA. contains a lot of Graphic-commands that you can use for Batch-Image-Processing of Pictures.

Here are some general Informations that apply to all ANA.-Commands:

1. ANA gives you a Set of 20 Image-Registers.

In each command you can specify one or more Source-Registers, and sometimes also a destination register.

2. In most cases where you do not specify a destination register, the source register will be overweritten with the result of the operation.

3. You can copy or move content from one Image-Register to other Image Registers.

4. You can load an Image into these Registers or you can Snapshot a localized Window into these Registers

5. Then you can do several types of processing with these Images.

6. And finally you can save the pictures.

And:

7. ANA. contains commands for Patterns-Search. These commands are not simple Pattern-Searching Commands, but highly optimized commands that include a Fuzzy-Logic. This way you can also find things that do not look exactly like the pattern but "somehow".

Generally to use ANA. you will first need to fill the Image-Register(s) with some content.

That will be processed in further steps.

We will call these "Image-Registers" in Short "IR".

You can use the first 20 Image Registers freely. There are some more Image-Registers available, but they are used by Operations internally (21-32).

The Blit-Command uses the GPU for fast Graphics-Operations. On some Operations there can be artefacts.

If you do not want these, you can use the "ANA.Logic" Command that uses the CPU.

Warning on Variables with Binary Content:

If you have Variables with Binary Content, or Picture-Content (like you get them from ANA.ToVar)

then please clear them before you use them as Return Variables for other ANA.-Commands.

Reason:

Generally all Variables that are given to the ANA.-Command are automatically resolved.

Unless the Command is prefixed with a "#" (like ANA.#FromVar).

Now its possible that Binary Data that might be in a Variable, contains "$$XXX" Patterns,

and if these match with a real existing Variable, this could lead to endless Variable resolution.

Therefore it makes sense that you clear all Variables that contain binary or picture-data before you use them with ANA.-Commands

other then those with a "#" in front of the Command-Name. The same can also happen with other commands then ANA.

If your Script hangs unexpectedly, this might be a reason.

IMPORTANT NOTICE about missing Administration Rights Effects:

When you start the Script from an SPR-Editor that has NO Admin-Rights, you may not be able to load pictures

from the Standard Robot path because its below C\Programme (x86)\ and you need Admin-Access to load files there.

As a result you will get only BLACK PICTURES using ANA.Load.

So if you only get Black Pictures, try to use ADMIN-RIGHTS for the Script.
