is there any possibility to move the cursor in Python with % starting from a certain coordinate like (1,1)? I am using pyautogui atm to automate and I thought it would be quite convenient if this is independent from the monitor size making it universal.
Thanks for your help in advance!
It's possible indirectly. As detailed at the top of the Mouse Control Functions page of the documentation, you can get the screen size using the size()
function (which returns a tuple of (X, Y)
). You can then do the math to figure out how many screen pixels equal the percentage you're looking for, then call moveTo()
to go there.
# script to move mouse 50% to the right and down
import pyautogui as pag
percentage = 0.5
cur_X, cur_Y = pag.position() # current X and Y coordinates
size_X, size_Y = pag.size() # screen size
goto_X = (size_X - cur_X) * percentage + cur_X # current location plus half
goto_Y = (size_Y - cur_Y) * percentage + cur_Y # the distance to the edge
pag.moveTo(goto_X, goto_Y, 1) # move to new position, taking 1 second
