Atlasc

@septag

atlasc is a command-line program that builds atlas texture from a bunch of input images.

Main Features

• Cross-platform. Runs on linux/macOS/windows.
• No dependencies
• Outputs atlas description to human-readable json format. Generated images are png.
• Alpha trimming.
• Mesh sprites.
• Scaling
• Can build as static library

Build

It has built and tested on the following platforms:

• Windows: Tested on Windows10 with visual studio 14 2015 update 3 (Win64).
• Linux: Tested on ubuntu 16 with clang (6.0.0) and gcc (7.3.0). Package requirements:
• MacOS: Tested on MacOS High Sierra - AppleClang 9.1.0

Usage

atlasc image1.png image2.png -o output.json [extra args]

Arguments:

-h --help                           - Print help text
-V --version                        - Print version
-i --input=<Filepath>               - Input image file(s)
-o --output=<Filepath>              - Output file
-W --max-width(=Pixels)             - Maximum output image width (default:1024)
-H --max-height(=Pixels)            - Maximum output image height (default:1024)
-B --border(=Pixels)                - Border size for each sprite (default:2)
-2 --pot                            - Make output image size power-of-two
-P --padding(=Pixels)               - Set padding for each sprite (default:1)
-m --mesh                           - Make sprite meshes
-M --max-verts(=Number)             - Set maximum vertices for each generated sprite mesh (default:25)
-A --alpha-threshold(=Number)       - Alpha threshold for cropping (0..255)
-s --scale(=Number)                 - Set scale for individual images (default:1.0)

Static Library

To build atlasc as static library instead of command-line tool, set STATC_LIB in cmake options.

cmake . -DSTATIC_LIB=1

There are three methods for creating atlases using the library:

• Load from image files and output to image file: atlasc_make
• Load from image files and return atlas in memory: atlasc_make_inmem
• Load from images loaded in memory and return atlas in memory: atlasc_make_inmem_fromem

For more information, read the header file atlasc.h

TODO

• Support for islands. currently, there is a limitation that individual images should not have islands of pixels
• Optimizations. It's a very early implementation and probably some parts of it has to be optimized

Open-Source libraries used

• sx: Portable base library
• sjson: Fast and portable single-header C file Json encoder/decoder
• stb: stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
• sproutline: A small single-file library for sprite outline extraction and simplification
• delanuay: Relatively Robust Divide and Conquer 2D Delaunay Construction Algorithm
