Lookup

It is a nice, simple and friendly to use library which helps you to lookup objects on a screen. Also it has a OCR functionality. Using Lookup you can do Java OCR tricks like recognizing any infromation from your Robot application. Which can be usefull for debuging or automating things.

OCR functionality

If you need to encode special symbols use UNICODE in the file name. For example if you need to have '' character (which is prohibited in the path and file name) specify %2F.png as a image symbol name.

Sometimes you need specify two different image for one symbol (if image / font symbol varry too mutch). To do so add unicode ZERO WIDTH SPACE symbol to the filename. Like that %2F%E2%80%8B.png will produce '/' symbol as well.
