Coordinate Block in EyeAuras

The Coordinate Block is used in various actions and triggers. It lets you:

• Define a specific capture region.
• Set the position of an overlay or another on-screen element.

Everything Is Relative

EyeAuras uses three main coordinate systems:

Screen Coordinates

Absolute coordinates on the screen. Usually, the top-left corner is (0,0), and the bottom-right corner matches your screen resolution, for example 1920x1080. If you use multiple monitors, the top-left corner can be negative.

When should you use them?

• To display overlays and visualize detected objects.
• To click on the screen without tying the action to a specific window.

Window Coordinates

Coordinates relative to the top-left corner of a window.

When should you use them?

• Capture regions in all triggers use window coordinates.

Match Bounds

Coordinates relative to a detected object inside the window.

When should you use them?

• Rarely. In most cases, screen or window coordinates are enough.

Position and Offset

A rectangle is defined by its X and Y coordinates, along with its Width and Height.

The Offset parameters (X, Y, Width, Height) let you shift the overlay position further. For example:

• Position: (100, 100)
• Offset: (10, 20)
• Final position: (110, 120)

Anchors

In EyeAuras, there are two types of anchors:

• Position Anchor
• Content Anchor

Position Anchor

Defines the anchor point inside a window or rectangle. Position and offset are calculated relative to that point.

Example: if the anchor is set to TopLeft, the position and offset refer to the top-left corner of the window. If it is set to Center, they refer to the center of the window.

Anchor Examples

AnchorType: TopLeft

• Position: (300, 100), Size: (200, 100), Offset: (0, 0, 0, 0) (300, 100, 200, 100)

Content Anchor

Used in special cases to align content inside a rectangle or window.
