🎓 Examples & Tutorials
Basic Paint Automation
// Select red color and draw a rectangle
await glass.draw({
action: "select_color",
color: "red",
validation: true
});
await glass.draw({
action: "draw_rectangle",
start: {x: 100, y: 100},
end: {x: 200, y: 200},
fill: false
});Advanced Screen Analysis
// Analyze current screen for interactive elements
const analysis = await glass.analyze({
target: "full_screen",
analysis_type: ["buttons", "forms", "text"],
ocr_enabled: true
});
console.log("Found elements:", analysis.elements);Workflow Automation
// Record and replay a complex automation sequence
await glass.workflow({
action: "start_recording",
name: "daily_report_generation"
});
// ... perform actions ...
const workflow = await glass.workflow({
action: "stop_recording"
});
// Replay the workflow
await glass.workflow({
action: "replay",
workflow_id: workflow.id
