Vis2 already works with multi monitor capture. Please try using:
ImagePutWindow([-1849, 362, 64, 17])
before using OCR to diagnose your issue. If the problem persists, you may update the version of ImagePut from v1.6 to v1.8.1 here: https://github.com/iseahound/ImagePut (but my testing showed that it worked with v1.6 fine)
@iseahound thanks for the quick reply -- I confirmed that it worked :). It seems the coordinates displayed by WindowSpy.ahk is not 100% reliable since it can provide wrong numbers if the DPI of primary and secondary displays are different.
There is one more thing that I can't resolve: how do I get Subtitle.Render()
to display on the secondary display instead of the primary display? I tried Render("Testing", "x-100")
and the text is shifted to the left correctly but nothing shows up on the secondary display.
I suggest you use TextRender which is a modern rewrite of Subtitle. The syntax is largely the same.
@iseahound I was able to use TextRender().Default()
to display the text on primary monitor, then drag it to the secondary monitor. Curious, is there a way to initialize the text so it displays on the secondary monitor without dragging? I tried x:-1000
but the text is not displayed on the secondary monitor (virtually positioned to the left of primary monitor).
If you download the zip and run Showcase 03, it should display on your extended monitor.
https://github.com/iseahound/TextRender/releases/tag/v1.8
Your syntax of x:-1000 is correct.
@iseahound I just tried Showcase 03 and the text was not displayed on the secondary laptop screen:
Here's my display settings, set to "extend these displays" where 1 is secondary (laptop) and 2 is primary:
I believe a bugfix was just pushed out, please try the latest version and confirm your screen coordinates.
https://github.com/iseahound/TextRender/blob/main/TextRender%20(for%20v1).ahk
Notably in Showcase 03, since your y coordinate of 0 is cut off it will not be visible. Changing y:"Top"
to y:540
should display it. (That should probably be the default behavior, hmmm...)
I found out I was already using v1.8.0. After changing to y:540
I could see the text going from secondary (left) to primary (right). Thanks, I will study the script and go from there.
I have a two-monitor setup where my external monitor is my primary display and my laptop screen (1920x1080) is my secondary display. I used WindowSpy.ahk to identify the coordinates on my laptop screen, but the OCR does not appear to work with negative coorindates, e.g.:
OCR([-1849, 362, 64, 17])
.Is there a way to OCR a region from a secondary display?
