Description-en: Control X from the command line, and find things on the screen
Control X from the command line for scripts, and do "visual scraping" to
find things on the screen. The control interface allows mouse movement,
clicking, button up/down, key up/down, etc, using the XTest extension.
The visgrep program find images inside of images and reports the
coordinates, allowing programs to find buttons, etc, on the screen to click
on.
.
If you just want to control X, you may find xdotool easier to use.
