• Auto size

How to use?

GUI

Hotkeys

• Ctrl+I - Import images
• Ctrl+Shift+I - Add images
• Ctrl+Shift+C - Clear images
• Ctrl+S - Save generated atlas

CLI

Usage:

tiny_packer --input <input_files> --output <output_file> [OPTIONS]

Required Arguments:

• --input, -i: Specify the input image files. Multiple files can be specified by repeating the argument for each file.
• --output, -o: Specify the path where the output atlas image will be saved.

Options:

• --width: Specify the width of the atlas. Defaults to 512 pixels. This option is ignored if auto sizing is enabled.
• --height: Specify the height of the atlas. Defaults to 512 pixels. This option is ignored if auto sizing is enabled.
• --padding, -p: Set the padding between images in the atlas. Defaults to 0 pixels.
• --auto_size, -a: Enable or disable automatic sizing of the atlas dimensions. Defaults to false. When enabled, the atlas dimensions are calculated based on the input images.
• --unified: Each cell has the same size (based on largest dimensions of image.) Defaults to false. [CLI only for now]

Examples:

1. Creating an Atlas with Specified Dimensions: Generate an atlas with a specific width and height, ignoring automatic sizing.

   tiny_packer -i image1.png -i image2.png -o atlas.png --width 1024 --height 1024 -a false

2. Creating an Atlas with Automatic Sizing: Generate an atlas where dimensions are automatically calculated.

   tiny_packer -i image1.png -i image2.png -i image3.png -o atlas.png

3. Creating an Atlas with Padding: Generate an atlas with a specified padding between images.

   tiny_packer -i image1.png -i image2.png -o atlas.png -p 10

Additional Tips:

• Multiple input files should be specified by repeating the -i or --input option for each file.
• Ensure that file paths are correctly specified and accessible from the command line.
• For best results, images should be of compatible formats and dimensions when padding and auto sizing are considered.
