DESCRIPTION

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