Pixel Pick

Pixel Pick Skill

Interactive tool to click on an image and get exact pixel coordinates.

Usage

/pixel-pick /path/to/image.png
/pixel-pick /path/to/image.png --output coords.json

Process

1. Create interactive picker script

   #!/usr/bin/env python3
   """Click on image to get coordinates."""
   import sys
   from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QMainWindow
   from PyQt6.QtGui import QPixmap, QMouseEvent
   from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
   
   class PixelPicker(QMainWindow):
       def __init__(self, image_path):
           super().__init__()
           self.setWindowTitle(f"Pixel Picker - {image_path}")
           self.coords = []
   
           self.label = QLabel()
           self.pixmap = QPixmap(image_path)
           self.label.setPixmap(self.pixmap)
           self.setCentralWidget(self.label)
           self.resize(self.pixmap.size())
   
       def mousePressEvent(self, event: QMouseEvent):
           x, y = event.pos().x(), event.pos().y()
           print(f"Clicked: ({x}, {y})")
           self.coords.append((x, y))
   
   if __name__ == '__main__':
       app = QApplication(sys.argv)
       picker = PixelPicker(sys.argv[1])
       picker.show()
       app.exec()
   

2. Run the picker

   python3 pixel_pick.py /path/to/image.png
   

3. Click on elements to get coordinates

   • Each click prints (x, y) to terminal
   • Coordinates are relative to image top-left

Output Format

Clicked: (384, 208)
Clicked: (418, 208)
Clicked: (452, 208)

Generating Layout Code

After collecting coordinates, generate code:

# Convert clicks to _box() calls
coords = [(384, 208), (418, 208), (452, 208)]
for i, (x, y) in enumerate(coords):
    print(f'"BUTTON_{i}": _box({x}, {y}, 28, 20),')

Tips

• Click top-left corner of each button
• Note the pattern/spacing for similar buttons
• Use grid overlay (/align-debug) first for reference
