Feature: ignore rectangle

[skyiea]

Does looks-same support ignoring certain areas (rectangles) during comparison?
I see that gemini, which is using looks-same, allows to ignoreElements. I would expect it (ignoring) is done by means of image-comparison tool?

Similarly, I'd love to have a whitelist of comparison zones too!

Hello.

At the moment looks-same is able to compare by regions:

looksSame({source: 'img1', boundingBox: {left: 10, top: 10, right: 20, bottom: 20}}, {source: 'img2', boundingBox: {left: 30, top: 30, right: 40, bottom: 40}}, {...opts}, callback)

But not able to ignore some region. Add this logic is not really difficult looking at this PR - #51. Do you have some free time to contribute? ;)

You can define your ignoring rectangles and then if diffClusters are within those ignoring rectangles you just change equal to true.

looksSame('image1.png', 'image2.png', {stopOnFirstFail: false}, function(error, {equal, diffBounds, diffClusters}) {
    // {
    //     equal: false,
    //     diffBounds: {left: 10, top: 10, right: 20, bottom: 20}
    //     diffClusters: [
    //         {left: 10, top: 10, right: 14, bottom: 14}, // Compare this
    //         {left: 16, top: 16, right: 20, bottom: 20}  // to your  ignoring rectangles
    //     ]
    // }
});

To my mind it's not the best solution. It would be much better if looks-same provided API to ignore some areas.

Right! I meant as a temporary solution you can use diffClusters.
