  • output example

     $ go run main.go
 #0 : (0,0)-(1280,800) "0_1280x800.png"
 #1 : (-293,-1440)-(2267,0) "1_2560x1440.png"
 #2 : (-1373,-1812)-(-293,108) "2_1080x1920.png"
 $ ls -1
 0_1280x800.png
 1_2560x1440.png
 2_1080x1920.png
 main.go

Y-axis is downward direction in this library. The origin of coordinate is upper-left corner of main display. This means coordinate system is similar to Windows OS
