NAME
       xautomation - control X from the command line, and find things on the screen

DESCRIPTION
       xautomation  is a set of command lines programs to control X and do "visual scraping"
       to find things on the screen. The control interface allows mouse movement,  clicking,
       button  up/down, key up/down, etc, and uses the XTest extension so you don't have the
       annoying problems that xse has when apps ignore sent events. The visgrep program find
       images  inside  of images and reports the coordinates, allowing programs to find but-
       tons, etc, on the screen to click on.

       xautomation consists in the following programs:

       pat2ppm
              Converts an image file from PAT to PPM format.

       patextract
              Extract a part of a PNG image file.

       png2pat
              Converts an image file from PNG to PAT format.

       rgb2pat
              Converts an image file from 24-bit RGB to PAT format

       visgrep
              Visual grep, greps for images in another image.

       xte    Generates fake input using the XTest extension.
