This package browser is in early development. Mind the rough edges.

slop

Select a region and print its bounds to stdout

slop (Select Operation) is a tool that queries for a selection from a user and prints the region to stdout. It grabs the mouse and turns it into a crosshair, lets the user click and drag to make a selection (or click on a window) while drawing a pretty box around it, then finally prints the selection's dimensions to stdout.

Installation

Install the latest version of slop as follows:

guix install slop

Or install a particular version:

guix install slop@7.6

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
