VNC support

[niknah]

Needs libvncclient
Useful if you want to do something else with your mouse/keyboard while sikuli is running

Use it like...

vncscreenid=JScreen.connectVNC(["vncviewer","192.168.1.111"],"password")
vncscreen=Screen(vncscreenid)

# Then everything will have to be accessed via the new "vncscreen" object.

vncscreen.click(Location(1,1))
vncscreen.type("abc")
vncscreen.find("xxx.png")

This is great news !

It's also useful if you want to test things on a remote computer or embedded device.

Thanks niknah ;-)

Since I can do it, I will just merge it, so it at least might help people, who decide to build RC3 from source.

I will have a look at it and then decide how I can integrate it into version 1.1 or 1.2 at https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX-2014

Thanks. I've only tried it out on linux. The basic stuff like typing, mouse, find works.
And I haven't tried other things like apple/win/arrow keys, mouse wheel, etc.

Also, it'll only work on a 32bit color vnc connection, which is the default.

If you want to do things on an iOS device. You may want to try https://github.com/niknah/veency
It is a VNC server but with patches to make the screen size smaller and some apps work better. works on iOS 6, on iOS 7 you'll need to get the patch in the issues page. Since I don't have an iOS 7 device, I can't compile it.
I learnt about vnc while fiddling with the veency server.
