PyAutoGUI is a Python GUI automation library for controlling mouse, keyboard, and screen capture with image recognition for automated testing.

Introduction to PyAutoGUI

PyAutoGUI is a pure-Python GUI automation library. It lets a program control the mouse and keyboard automatically, so it is very useful for simple automation and UI testing. You can think of it as a Python version of a desktop macro tool.

Coordinates

For a library that focuses on precise clicking, coordinate handling is the foundation. pyautogui uses screen pixels for positioning. For example, on a display with a resolution of 2560x1600:

width, height = pyautogui.size() # 获取电脑屏幕坐标
print(width, height)

The output is 2560 1600.

The coordinate origin is in the top-left corner. The x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical:

Once you understand that, you can position the mouse precisely.
