Last Changes and Updates

08.11.2023

  At the Open AI DevCon several ne w Features have been revealed and most of them (all but the Assistants API) are now available with the Smart Package Robot.

  This includes the new TTS (Text-to-Speech) which is much less costly then Elevenlabs (but also got a Caching System) and includes also the Vision-System, where you can feed Pictures to the AI and get a description.

  During the Implementation of the new features for "AIC.Ask Vision" I made several changes with the Temp-File Generation, which is necessary if the File to upload is not in the right Format.
  I hope this will not break Compatibility with older Commands, we will see.

  Lots of new AI-Commands:
  AIC.Ask Vision  - Send a Image to OpenAI's Vision GPT and receive a description.

  AIC.Ask Multi Vision  - Send multiple Images to OpenAI's Vision GPT and receive a description.

  AIC.Set Vision Model - Currently there is only one Vision Model so this may be needed in the future.

  AIC.Get Any Value - return technical Process Values from the AI like "Used Tokens".

 and much more.

 

04.11.2023

Loop-Section in the Help got updated. 

New Loop-Command: RRC. - RCL. - Loop.

Until now the RRC. and JOR, did not for a real Loop together as they needed a Jump-Command for completeness.

Now the RRC. got an alternative Partner, the  the RCL.- "Repeat Counter Loop".

This Command is optimized for Speed, it will execute similar to the time of an commented line.

 

clip0904

   Executing an empty Loop from 1 to 5000.000 the RCL.-Command shows its strength and does it in 5 Seconds (in EXE-Run Mode).

 

 

RRC. and JOR. got improved

 

SIF. and VIF. these are also multiple choice commands and therefore have been added to the multiple choice section in the help file.

 

SCN. - repaired, will be best with CAN.

SCS. will be best with CAS. and CFP.

CAN. - now supports multiple Numbers like this:

CAN.5,7,8.5,$$RET,7,8,9

 

  Helpfile:

  Lots of Changes in the Help for that the right page opens when you press F1 at a specific new command.

 

Added the Section "Speed Considerations" to ! Variable Commands

  There you can see which commands are fastest for which task.

 

SPR-Editor:

  Debugging: The yellow Mark in the SPRE-Editor is now on the proper Line.

 

New CAT. - Command to significantly improve Concatenation Speed of larger Strings

clip0899

The new CAT. - Command is optimized for Speed. Here you can see the Speed advantage (4770 <> 962 Ticks).

 

Improved Pattern-Search: Added "MinDist" and SFP.MinDist:

  During usage it showed up that using higher Color-Tolerances, the Pattern-Search tends to return 2 results from nearly the same place.

  Now Results that are only +/-1 Point near another result will be removed. The distance that is used is "MinDist". Generally it is set to "1".

  If needed you can set it to higher values to eliminate more nearby results.

 

Change: All Loop-Commands have been updated: FOR. / NEX. as well as DOL. ... OOP.

  Generally Leaving any Loops with the GTO. in the past, left the Loop in an "running state".

  This means that if the Script would later touch the same loop, it would assume that the loop is still running and just continue this loop from where you have been jumping out.

  This was especially a issue with FOR. NEX. - Loops.

  With the new modernized Loops, the Loop will recognize if the Line before the Loop was the "NEX." and in that case "do the Loop".

  Coming from any other Line, the FOR. will assume that this is the first touch of the Loop and initialize the Loop Parameters from new.

  Therefore, while we have now BRK. and CON. you can also "Jump out using GTO. anywhere from even nested Loops.

  And the Script will always be in perfect state.

 

  New Commands:

  CON. (Continue) and

  BRK. (Break) Commands with these Loops.  

  The BRK. - Commands can also accept a Label to jump to this Label instead of ending the Loop at the end of the Loop.    

 

Change: Variablenauflösung für numerische Parameter

  This change may speed up resolution for numeric parameters. Repaired Variablenauflösung für POINT-Variablen.

  Also improved: VAO.

 

Added: SIF. and VIF. - Sort of Choose/IIF - Command.

SIF.$$NUM|$$RET|$$SSA|$$SSB

Depending on $$NUM is 1 or 2, $$RET will be $$SSA or $$SSB.

You can specify up to 25 Strings for this command.

VIF. is the same, but supports all datatypes, keeping the datatype of $$SSA in $$RET.

 

Updated TRIM-Functions: VBT. / VLT. / VRT.

  If you specify:  

  VBT.$$TXT|All

  VLT.$$TXT|All

  VRT.$$TXT|All

  then all characters from ASC 0 to 32 and $CR and $LF are trimmed from the specified Border of the Textstring.

 

New Compiler-Behavior:

- Hide/Unhide -Algorithm changed, improved. Due to this these commands that use these are not more compatible to earlier versions.  

 

1. API-Keys are now automatically included

If the API-Keys for AI-Use are in the Project Folder, then they will automatically be included into the executable.

If you do not want the API keys to be automatically included into the executable, then you can use the new compiler directive for this.

#SPI:NoAPIKey

This new compiler directive will automatically prevent any API key to be included in a compiled executable.

clip0877

If you do not specify the new Compiler-Directive, then the API-Keys will be included into any new Executable.

 

 

Help-File:

Improved the Starting Guide Section.

Improved "See " Topics for the DIC. - Commands.

Improved Plugin01-Behavior

 

Enhanced the COP. - File Copy Command

The command will now take a check sum from the source and target file and compare these to make sure the file are identical.

While this will make file-copying a bit slower, you can still use SHF. for "Normal file copy".

Most often the number of files to copy is low, but safety is most important. This feature will make sure the newly created file is identical and is accessible.

 

New String-Commands.

Enhanced String Commands: A Leap Beyond Traditional BASIC Languages

Our latest update introduces a suite of advanced string commands designed to outperform most traditional BASIC languages in both speed and functionality. These new commands are engineered to handle a wide range of scenarios, allowing you to accomplish most tasks with a single command.

 

Dual Implementations for Versatility

For some of the most commonly used BASIC string commands—namely MID$, RIGHT$, and LEFT$—we have now implemented two distinct versions to offer you greater flexibility:

Function Version: This version (Name similar to the BASIC Names) returns the manipulated string as a value, which can be stored in a variable or used in further computations.

Statement Version: This version (name starts with "Set") directly modifies the string variable it operates on, eliminating the need to store the result in a separate variable.

By providing both a function and a statement version for these essential commands, we aim to give you the tools you need to write more efficient and streamlined code.

 

Advanced Find and Replace Commands: Case Sensitivity and Beyond

Our new string command suite includes an array of sophisticated find and replace commands, each available in both case-sensitive and case-insensitive versions. This feature allows you to tailor your search and replace operations to the specific requirements of your project.

 

Flexible Character Counting and Positioning Options

In addition to the standard functionality, some of our new commands offer enhanced flexibility through multiple variants:

 

Character Count Variant: This variant allows you to specify the number of characters to be considered in the operation, providing you with precise control over the string manipulation.

 

Last Character Position Variant: This option enables you to define the position of the last character involved in the operation, offering another layer of control.

 

Negative Positional Numbers:

For even greater flexibility, our commands also support the use of negative positional numbers. When used, these numbers are interpreted as positions calculated from the end of the string, counting backwards.

By incorporating these versatile options, our advanced string commands are designed to meet a wide range of programming needs, making your coding experience more efficient and intuitive.

 

Removed Trimming from STR.Commands.

  Many STR.-Commands had internal Trimmings which prevented their use if $sp$/chr(32) was used as delimiter. This should now work.

  However the Trimming of the Input-Strings was removed therefore you need to do that separately, and also watch out that there are no invisible Spaces in the Line.

 

For example:

 

'If there are spaces behind the ">" they will not more trimmed away using these commands!
$$XYZ=> 

 

 

clip0833

The Smart Package Robot got a lot of new String-Commands, that will beat all BASIC Languages out there.

 

Korrekturen:

- GAI. geht jetzt.

- Many changes in the Help-File.

 

AI-Support:

The SPR supports now all major AI-Systems:

1.Open AI CHatGPT

2.Open AI Dalle 2 (and possibly 3)

3.Stable Diffusion local and Server

4.GPT4All Local AI (also supports CHatGPT from Open AI)

5.DeepL - Translations

 

New command:

 STR.FindBestMatch

This command will take a list with text, for example, apple, oranges, coconuts, and you put a number in front of each element, for example, 1 apple, 2 oranges, 3 coconuts. So now you can have another text, for example, pebbles, and you feed the list and the word you are searching for into this new command, STR.FindBestMatch, and it will not return you the word apple, because pebble is near to apple, but it will return you the number in front of the apple. So what is good for, imagine you are using the new AI features, for example, the Whisper speech to text, and you have commands, you have a list with commands, and now you can make a keyword, you can say command, do this and that, and now you get a return from Whisper, which may be perfectly accurate or not. And then using this FindBestMatch, it will take this command and will find the best fitting command and not return the command, but just the number, which will make your scripting process much easier.

 

'*************************************

' STR.FindBestMatch

'*************************************

VAR.$$LIS="1. apple,2. orange,3. banana"

VAR.$$TAR="orenge"

STR.FindBestMatch|$$LIS|$$TAR|$$RES

DBP.Best Match: $$RES

' Result is 2

ENR.

 

 

FIL.-Commands were updated.

New Command:

FIL.Generate next numbered Name - Generates a sequentially numbered file name and checks for its existence, incrementing the number until a non-existing file name is found.

This will make it more easy to store lots of AI generated pictures "numbered". Also the command has much more features.

Many new FIL.-Commands, to make File-Operations easier and safer.
These new commands do not support NTFS-Direct, yet they have another safety feature.

These commands work often on temporary files and rename files after the operation.
This makes these Operations mostly safe against crashes, while sometimes a bit slower.

Especially the "FIL.Append to File" will get much slower on large files, as it works for each append on a copy of the original file.

Its therefore recommended to use it only for tasks where highest safety is required.

 

FIL.Append to File

FIL.Copy to File
FIL.Prepend to File
FIL.Append to File
FIL.Insert in File
FIL.Replace in File (with many options)

FIL.Replace in large File (with many options) - uses overlapping chunks to work with unlimitted filesizes.

FIL.Generate Unique Filename - to verify an Filename is unique, if not he will be added a number

 

clip0740
 

Many new. AI-Commands:
SDL. - this Group of Commands will use "Stable Diffusion Local"

SDO. - this Group of Commands will use "Stable Diffusion Online"

AIL. - this Group of Commands will use "GPT4All" as Local AI.

AIS. - this Group of Commands will use Speech Synthesis through Elevenlabs.

As GPT4All can also use Open AI API, you can also call Open AI Models through this command.

AIC.: This "Artificial Intelligence Command" makes the worldwide most advanced LLM (Large Language Model) available for your Scripting!
The AIC.-Command has lots of Subcommands, so please see there. In the picture below are just some of many more.

AIC. can access the DALLE V2. Model to generate pictures. It can access GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 Large Language Models.

AIC. can access the WHISPER Open AI "Speech to Text" Model.

More to come.

 

Moved: Data-Blocks.

Data-Block Commands have been moved to the Variables-Section as Sub-Section,

you will also find the new ARRAY-Commands there.

clip0691

Arrays and Data-Blocks are now Sub-Sections of Variables.

 

New Command: ARR. - Array Operation

Lastly we got the new AI-Operations and due to this the Implementation of ARRAYs was needed.

The ARR.-Command will solve this issue and implement Arrays of String, Integer or Floating Point Type.

Arrays can mix the Types they store, means you can store in the same Array Strings, Integer or FP.

Arrays have an automatic Redim, yet we recommend to Dimension then before use for Speed Reason.

 

Also added:

Samples how the 1D-Arrays can be used as 2D- or 3D-Arrays using Macros.

Also new: Arrays can be packed into a Variable or saved to disc as a file.

 

clip0778

 

New Commands: VFP, VIN.

 These new commands will safely generate "Type 4" (INT) and "Type 5" (FP) Variables.

  As they are also faster, you should use these if you define (and declare in one step) such Variables and their value..

 

Improved commands:

IVS. - kann jetzt testen ob ein String leer ist.

 

IVS.$$TES=

  MBX.String is empty

EIF.

 

Improved commands:

VAR., VAS.,VAB.,VAF.,VAV.,VAO.,VAI.:

These commands receive a new "concatenate" Option. Also the handling of spaces has been changed.
Example:

' Until now
VAR.$$TXT=Hallo

VAR.$$TXT=$$TXT Peter

' Result is "Hallo Peter"

New:

' Now you can write instead:

VAR.$$TXT=Hallo

VAR.$$TXT+ Peter

' Result is "Hallo Peter"

This will make coding for Prompts easier. The + Sign works as an concatenation operator for Strings.

Then we have an "Inofficial feature". This will also work, but i do not recommend to use it, because if the Text would start with a "=" Sign, the result would be wrong.
Thats why i recommend to generally specify an Operator.

Yet, if you leave it away the Commands will do a concatenation, just as if there would be a "+" Sign. Anyway you can do this, and it will work.

See:

 

VAR.$$TXT=Act as a System Programmer.

VAR.$$TXT Write my code.

VAR.$$TXT Do it step by step.

VAR.$$TXT Ask me if you have questions.

' Just leaving away the "=" will also work as concatenation

' But (see line below) this will lead to problems as the + Sign will be taken as Operator,

' and will be missing on the right side.

  VAR.$$TXT  +* and - are the signs.

 

New commands:

 

GEC.: This command got a new Option "s" - "Scramble Result". If you use it to encrypt a Text, File, Key or a Password,

the result of the Operation will be unpredictable. And will never be the same. Means, if you start the same Script again.

You will get another result. Therefore the result will be even more safe even against Brute Force attacks.

 

HIT.: This command also got a new Option "s" - which means "Super-Hide". If you use it to encrypt/hide a Text or a Key or a Password,

the result of the Operation will be unpredictable. And it will never be the same. Therefore the result will be to some degree safe even against Brute Force attacks.

 

JIO./JNO.: "Jump If Online". This command has multiple usage, the shortest form it can tell if you are connected to the Internet. 

 

IOL. / NOL.: If Online - this command can be used to make sure the robot can reach the Internet.

It can also be used to test if a specified WEB-Server is Online.

 

IPI. / NPI.: If PING succesful. This is a IPv4 PING Commands.

 

These commands have been added to support the Usage of the new AI-Commands.

Because these will need to be online to be able to connect to the AI-Provider.

 

 

 

Help-File:

Many new Illustrations and improvements in the Starting Guide.

Added several Libraries here:

clip0575

Added the correct Flags for the Findpattern Commands:

 

About the P5 - Parameter ("Debug Flag"):

The Flag-Parameter meanwhile can do a lot more then just help Debuging.

 

1 - Enable Debug-Output in Console Window

2 - Snap last used Window again if not found

4 - Use "Difference Map Search"

8 - Disable Filtering (if set)

16 - Use "Invert Pattern"

32 - Use "Complement Pattern"

64 - Use "Extended Search" (takes longer, makes more evaluations)

 

SPR-Editor:

Removed a nasty bug in the SPR-Editor that was there for quite a while.

It could lead to a unexpected crash of the Editor when loading a lot of Subscripts. Now the bug has been removed.

Breakpoints in Subscripts have been repaired.

 

GPX-Korrektor

Improved "GPX-Korrektor.exe", it has now a "Overview" Button.

Improved "GPX-Korrektor.exe", it can do Satellite View in 2 Modes.

 

SPR:
Changes: TXT.glx / CPC.f

Lots of Tests.

 

13.03.2023

Added new SFD. / Set File Date - Command (untested).

Added new Component "GPX-Korrektor.exe" in an Subfolder.

There is an own Chapter for this new Tool in the Help-File.

 

  Update to the XML-Command. Internal Searches start now from (Pos+1). This may affect old Scripts that use XML-Commands.

 

What is a Timestamp?

A Timestamp is a Time-Value in the Format: HH:MM:SS or HH:MM:SS.mmm

Using these new TCA. and more new Time-Stamp Commands you can work easily with Timestamps.

 

TCA.Add|P1|P2[|P3]

TCA.Dif|P1|P2[|P3]

TCA.Div|P1|P2[|P3]

TAC.Between|P1|P2[|P3]

TCA.Split|P1|P2|P3

TCA.Make|[P1][|P2][|P3]

TCA.Ovl|P1|P2[|P3]

 

also new:

IAT. / NAT.  If After Timestamp

IBT. / NBT.  If Before Timestamp

 

Using these new commands, TImestamps like "HH:MM:SS" can easily be Added, Subtracted (Time-Difference),

Divided, Split into Parts, Constructed and you can get the Timestamp between two Timestamps.

 

28.11.2022

New Command: GetGradientColor will calculate the Gradient color between two Colors with given Steps.

 

Error removed with

    ANA.Color_Diff_MIN|$$C01|$$E05|$$ERA

Added Section with Graphical Subprograms (Macros).

These Subprograms can be used for Picture Processing.

 

24.09.2022

ANA.ReplaceColorT und ReplaceColorD have been improved.

Normally these Commands will replace a given Color with another color if the color fits the Color specification P2 (+Tolerance).

Now there is the Option to prefix P2 with an ! which make the Command switch to "Negative Mode", means it will replace all Colors that do NOT fit the specification in P2.

 

27.08.2022

Bugfix with DTV.

During the enhancement of DTV. to understand US-formatted Date's, there has been a little Bug which has now been removed.

 

New Chapter "Cleaning Scanned Writings" in the help-File.

You can use the SPR to clean-up bad scannings.

For this there are new Commands

 

clip0395

These commands read and write the Colors of up to 8 Pixels in one run and therefore can speed up execution times of such Scripts.

 

 

03.08.2022

Added new commands:

DIC.Set_Multiple|$$RET|$$DEL|$$IND|$$VAL

DIC.Set_Value|$$REF|$$DEL|$$INX|$$VAL

DIC.Format_Numeric|$$LIN|$$DEL|$$IND|$$FMT|$$RES

 

These commands can be used to quickly change the Value/Data of one or more Cells of a csv-File or other delimited Data.

 

Changed:

 

VDF. - Verfiy Date Format

Using this command, you can verify if a Variable contains a valid date. The command will now also convert a US-formatted Date like "2022/12/31" into a European type Date,

that can be used with the other Date-Commands like DTV. and others. This was useful because in csv-Files there are often US-formatted Dates.

 

 

23.05.2022

Some smaller Corrections. Tests show that the SPR can handle csv-Files that are larger then Excel can handle.

A csv with more then 1.000.000 Lines can be processed using the SPR in less then 15 Seconds, while Excel will not accept it anymore.

 

Too_Large

 

 

 

22.05.2022

 

Added many more commands to the TXT.-Command, and also also the commands have been sorted by Type.

Some commands that are time intensive have been updated for Speed.

For example the TXT.Sort-Commands have been tested with a File with 354000 Lines and do their sort within a second or two.

Therefore the TXT.-Commands are now an own Category, not more in the String-Category.

 

PRT. Command improved. Can now print much larger Texts in one run.

Help for TXT.glp corrected.

 

Excel-Function "Excel_LetterToNumber" and "Excel_NumberToLetter" have also been added to the DIC.-Command.

These have been changed internally and replaced by native programmed versions that will NOT call the Excel API.

This way these functions are much faster and do not rely on an Installation of Excel anymore.

 

New STR.-String Commands (Sort of Mulit-Instring):

 

clip0368

 

New DIC.-Commands

 

clip0369

 

Many new commands for TXT.

These will complete the TXT.-Command-Set in a way that it can also be used as a virtual , multidimensional Array with Sorting capability.

It can be used as a Que, or as a Stack as well.

 

 TXT.itas   and  TXT.insert_text_at_start

and much more.

 

 

30.04.2022

 

New Command:

TXT.set_text_lines|$$LIA|$$LIB|$$REP

      Lines $LIA (from Begin of the line) bis $$LIB (until end of this line) will be removed/replaced with the content of $$REP

 

Change: TXT.frv is now TXT.fov as it was documented.

 

Sample:

:Lab_Remove_Cols

$$FIK=?exeloc\Test.txt

$$LIA="Q","M","K","I","H",F"

TXT.toc|$$BAK

TXT.Load_pure_Text|$$PAA|$$FIK

TXT.Delimited_Items_Remove|;|$$LIA

TXT.Get_pure_Text|$$PAA

TXT.fov|$$BAK

TXT.Get_Line_Count|$$NUL

RET.

 

24.04.2022

 

These commands are useful  for Excel- and CSV-Files. You can remove Columns, Insert Columns, or Swap Columns.

In real life many stuff is in Excel-Files, and often we have to work with these.

It was possible using SBD. before but now it becomes really easy.

 

Added:

TXT.crp / TXT.cr_to_crlf

TXT.lfp / TXT.lf_to_crlf

These 3 are also new. They will process not just a Line but the complete TXT.-Buffer.

TXT.Delimited_Items_Insert

TXT.Delimited_Items_Remove

TXT.Delimited_Items_Swap

 

More new Command:

DIC. - Delitimed Item Command

 

DIC.Swap|$$DEL|$$LIN|$$INA|$$INB|$$RES  

DIC.Insert|$$DEL|$$LIN|$$IND|$$RES  

DIC.remove|$$DEL|$$LIN|$$IND|$$RES

These commands can be found here.

 

clip0351

 

24.04.2022

Many Changes and Bug Fixes with the Pattern-Search.

There were Bugs that could make the Patternsearch crash if used extensively (WFP. ?).

These Bugs have been removed.

 

Also Pattern-Search is now faster and has more Options like X-Ray and Extended Search.

 

Even searching for 5  Patterns at the same time will be in a second with an actual CPU. Its amazing fast.

Internally the Engine can already search 6 Patterns at the same time, but we did not make a command for that at the time of this writing.

 

Added lots of new Pattern-Sizes that are not yet supported from the Pattern-Recorder (HE-Recorder).

Looks like a completely new Pattern-Recorder would be fine.

 

There are no more "Bad Patterns". If its a Pattern, you can use it. All Patterns are now fine.

 

Searching for more then 1 Pattern will now generally use IR 0 for the Target Bitmap, and IR 1 ... IR (number of Pattern to search for) for the Patterns. This is a general rule for a "Multi-Pattern Search Commands".

Therefore these "Multi-Pattern Search Commands" commands will overwrite IR 0 and the following IR's.

 

If you use these IR's save them somewhere (ANA.ToVar) or move them into higher IR's (ANA.Move)
that are unused - for example IR 10 and following.

 

 

09.03.2022

New Command SYT. (Systray-Icon) mostly completed.

You can now add an Systray-Icon, also a Tool-Tipp is supported, but not yet any menu.

You can also change the Icon (make it blink).

 

clip0334

 

The new SYT.-Command can be found under "OS & Software".

 

clip0350

 

02.03.2022

New Command DTI. (Desktop-Information) completed.

This command will give all needed Information on number of visible Desktops, coordinates, DPI-Scaling etc.

 

clip0349

 

14.02.2022

In this Update i have revisited the "Plugin_01.exe" the Buttonbar.

The help was incomplete and is now completely documetned:

 

clip0333.

 

New: PIS.GetMouseButtonHandle

New: PIS.attach - lots of more Options on how to attach the Buttonbar

Bei den PIS.Befehlen gab es Änderungen, bitte die Hilfe beachten, wenn etwas nicht geht.

PIS.inv -> PIS.Hid

PIS.vis -> PIS.Sho

PIS.SetVertikal -> PIS.SetVertical

PIS.SwitchTopMost->PIS.SetTopMost

 

Improved:

Help for PIS. has been updated and improved. Many new help-Pages.

 

Efficiency of the running Butonbar is improved (needs less CPU).

Behavior when Target WIndow was minimized has been improved.

 

PIS.SetButtonBackColor

now works properly and can permanently change the Button Color.

 

Buttons in the Buttobar (Plugin_01) do not have any default Text by now.

Also you can now remove any Text using:

PIS.$$REA|sBt|1|  

for Example if you want to display a Picture, using

PIS.$$REA|SetPicture|1|$$FIX|32|5

this command has been Improved.

It can now Scale the pictures to any size, if P4 and P5 are specified. This way you can use any pictures for the Buttonbar, just specify the size they should have on the Button.

 

New feature:

If Size or distance is specified with "zero" then the previous value is preserved.

For example:

PIS.$$REA|SetButtonsHVSize|270|0

Here the Y-Size of the Buttons is not changed.

 

11.02.2022

1. Lots of Changes in the Help-File.

2. Undercover Graphics (UCV.) moved to Image Processing Topics.

3. Helpfile is now available as E_Book (PDF-Format) in the "E-Book-Helpfile" Folder.

20.01.2022

Lots of Image Processing Options have been added:

clip0240

 

Also there were changes and addition with the Logic Operations that can be used to combine Images (IR's).

clip0241

 

And there is a bunch of RGB/ HSL-Operations

 

clip0245

 

The SPR can now be used to snaphot, convert, resize, cut and process pictures in Brightness, Color and Contrast.

I have tested Image resolutions up to.10200x6800 Pixels*, which is a good resolution even for commercial pictures..

Using the SPR for commercial Pictures?  Yes, is possible. Here is an example.

 

MGrad0

 

I have set this Picture for Sale on Dreamstime, see: "Color Wheel Background".

 

You can do all sorts of automated Image Processing using the SPR.

 

More examples:

- Remove or Add Artefacts or Watermarks

- Clean Up Pictures

- Change Color and Brightness

- Change Resolution

- Cut Borders of pictures

- a very strong side of the SPR is the ability to Combine Pictures

You can combine up to at least 20 Pictues in any logic way.

Using very fast commands like ANA-Logic, or use a Pixel-based Script using any of the other commands.

If the pictures do not originally have the same resolution, use ANA.EqualRes to stretch one of the IR's  to the Target resolution.

 

Here is an overview over the current Help-File Sections that are mostly new..

 

clip0246

 

The following examples are from ANA.Logic and ANA.Mask.

 

 
clip0243, clip0244

 

 

For more details please see the command descriptions.

 

 

27.11.2021

Improved:
- GFP. and SFP. got new Option "LH", "LastHits" which returns the number of Pixel-Hits from the last find.

WTP.$$PAA|$$PAB|30,40|60

GFP.LH|$$PAT

MBX.Pixelhits: $$PAT

 

- GFP. and SFP. got new Option "FA", "FlagA" which will set the internal "Flag A" to a value that is currently 0,1,2 or 3.
This will influence the behavior of the Fuzzy Logic during the Pattern-Search. The higher the number, the more Pixels will be evaluated, and therefore Patterns will be recognized.

 

Fixed

GFP.LastPattern|$$PAT

Now you can find out which of multiple Patterns was found for example with

  WTP.$$PAA|$$PAB|30,40|60

  GFP.LastPattern|$$PAT

  MBX.$$PAT

 

26.11.2021

- Fixed: Patterncommands LTP. / WTP. etc. with Multiple Patterns when Patternsize was not 8x8

- Fixed: DMP.-Command since last change Numbers were not recognized

 

17.11.2021 Added:

- ANA.CutRect

- ANA.FromClipboard

- ANA.ToClipboard and ANA.ToClipboardRect

These commands place pictures in the WindowsClipboard.

Added:         ?pattern\  as equivalent to "?path\Pattern\". This is the default Path for Search Patterns, if no other path is given. It is used for example with the ANA.Load Command.

Added: ANA.findpclick

This command is complete package that will do all the work when you want to click whatever

on WEB-Sites. You just give the Pattern, and you say the details (how often to clock, how to click etc.).

And let it run.


 

Known Problems:

 

Robo-Diff:

Using Robo-Diff will only work on minimalistic Systems, with just Windows and the Application to watch.

Due to the 32 bit-Architecture of Robo-Diff, the program can currently not handle the large Data Amount of heavily loaded 64 bit Systems.

This could only be changed if the Program would save its data while processing, and this would make the whole process much slower.

So there is currently the advice to use Robo-Diff only on minimalistic Systems with just Windows and the program to record.

 

Editor:

- Running a Script that uses a Macro-Library. Under some circumstances the Editor will switch into a library Macro File and show this file instead of the Script file that is executed. In such case close the Editor and load the Script file new.
