How to define the X,Y position?

[leoheck]

I could not find in the Readme anything about the X,Y position so I don't know how this is going to work across multiple screen sizes and resolutions. Does it remain the same?

After some time I figured that I could use the mouse move m: to place the mouse at a specific location to have an easy way to get those x,y pairs. Do you have a better way to know the x,y value of a specific point on the screen?

How does this work? Is this related to the resolution of the screen?

How do you determine the x,y you want to click?

There are a number of ways to get the coordinates of a point:

• Move the mouse there, then run cliclick p
• Use macOS’ Digital Color Meter and enable displaying the coordinates
• Use some 3rd-party tool such as xScope

Thank you, this a good and important info to be on Readme.

Now, how does it work? Is this based on the resolution? What happens with the coordinates when using different screen sizes. Are they going to happen in the same relative location?

The coordinates will always be relative to the top left corner of the main screen, regardless of the screen size. If you tell cliclick to move to 2500,1800 on a screen which is only 1024 x 768, no error will occur, the cursor will just be moved as far as possible.
