API

require('screen-avg-color')(callback, options);

callback(err, red, green, blue)

• err: string with error message (null if there was no error)
• red: integer 0-255
• green: integer 0-255
• blue: integer 0-255

options {x=0, y=0, width=0, height=0, scale=10}

x, y

The x and y coordinates for the top left corner of the screen.

width, height

The width and height of the screen in pixels. (set to 0 to use the actual screen width or height)

scale

The target size of the grabbed bitmap in percent. (1-100) (A bigger bitmap might return more precise values but it can significantly slow down the response time.)

TODO

• support for linux and osx
• option to select which screen to use in a multi display setup
• rewrite native bindings to n-api
