import (
    "fmt"
"github.com/go-vgo/robotgo"
)
func main() {
  bitmap := robotgo.CaptureScreen(10, 20, 30, 40)
  // use defer robotgo.FreeBitmap(bit) to free the bitmap
  defer robotgo.FreeBitmap(bitmap)
  fmt.Println("...", bitmap)
  fx, fy := robotgo.FindBitmap(bitmap)
  fmt.Println("FindBitmap------ ", fx, fy)
  robotgo.SaveBitmap(bitmap, "test.png")
}

if len(fpid) > 0 {
  robotgo.ActivePID(fpid[0])

  robotgo.Kill(fpid[0])
}
  }
