If set to True, when a script is run, Sikuli shows a visual effect (a blinking double lined red circle) on the spot where the action will take place before executing actions (e.g.click(), dragDrop(), type(), etc) for about 2 seconds in the standard (see Settings.SlowMotionDelay ). The default setting is False.
exit( [ value ])Stops the script gracefully at this point. The value is returned to the calling environment.
class Settings Settings.ActionLogs Settings.InfoLogs Settings.DebugLogsEither option might be switched on (True) or off (False), to show or hide the respective message type in the IDE console or on command line ([log], [info], [debug]).
Settings.MinSimilarityThe default minimum similiarty of find operations. While using a Region.find() operation, if only an image file is provided, Sikuli searches the region using a default minimum similarity of 0.7.
Settings.MoveMouseDelayControl the time taken for mouse movement to a target location by setting this value to a decimal value (default 0.5). The unit is seconds. Setting it to 0 will switch off any animation (the mouse will “jump” to the target location).
As a standard behavior the time to move the mouse pointer from the current location to the target location given by mouse actions is 0.5 seconds. During this time, the mouse pointer is moved continuosly with decreasing speed to the target point. An additional benefit of this behavior is, that it gives the active application some time to react on the previous mouse action, since the e.g. click is simulated at the end of the mouse movement:
mmd = Settings.MoveMouseDelay # save default/actual value
click(image1) # implicitly wait 0.5 seconds before click
Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 3
click(image2) # give app 3 seconds time before clicking again
Settings.MoveMouseDelay = mmd # reset to original value
DelayAfterDrag specifies the waiting time after mouse down at the source location as a decimal value (seconds).
DelayBeforeDrop specifies the waiting time before mouse up at the target location as a decimal value (seconds).
Usage: When using Region.dragDrop() you may have situations, where the operation is not processed as expected. This may be due to the fact, that the Sikuli actions are too fast for the target application to react properly. With these settings the waiting time after the mouse down at the source location and before the mouse up at the target location of a dragDrop operation are controlled. The standard settings are 0.3 seconds for each value. The time that is taken, to move the mouse from source to target is controlled by Settings.MoveMouseDelay:
# you may wish to save the actual settings before
Settings.DelayAfterDrag = 1
Settings.DelayBeforeDrop = 1
Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 3
dragDrop(source_image, target_image)
# time for complete dragDrop: about 5 seconds + search times
Control the duration of the visual effect (seconds).
Settings.WaitScanRate Settings.ObserveScanRateSpecify the number of times actual search operations are performed per second while waiting for a pattern to appear or vanish.
As a standard behavior Sikuli internally processes about 3 search operations per second, when processing a Region.wait(), Region.exists(), Region.waitVanish(),Region.observe()). In cases where this leads to an excessive usage of system ressources or if you intentionally want to look for the visual object not so often, you may set the respective values to what you need. Since the value is used as a rate per second, specifying values between 1 and near zero, leads to scans every x seconds (e.g. specifying 0.5 will lead to scans every 2 seconds):
def myHandler(e):
print "it happened"
# you may wish to save the actual settings before
Settings.ObserveScanRate = 0.2
onAppear(some_image, myHandler)
observe(FOREVER, background = True)
# the observer will look every 5 seconds
# since your script does not wait here, you
# might want to stop the observing later on ;-)
The minimum size in pixels of a change to trigger a change event when using Region.onChange() without specifying this value. The default value is 50.
