location?


You want foreground and background color. You get those with
getColorText() and getColorBackground(). GetColorAtPoint() returns the
color at a specific point, which could happen to be on either a
foreground or background part of a character, or not on a character at
all.

Those three functions return integers. To get the nine-digit decimal
code, call colorToRGBString on each of the getColorBackground and
GetColorText results.

can you give an example script for me to model my script after? Thanks.
