It would surely be good if the sheets were compatible to the BF sheets
This would considerably expand the applicability

Hi walbus,

The spritesheet feature will be fairly generic; planned settings...
- include all frames or selected frames (allows for reordering)
- resize frames width or height (no distortion)
- offset x-axis and y-axis (frame clipping)
- number of rows or columns (other is calculated)
- transparency layer (color / no color)

------------------------------------------------------

Updated:
- Extract Frames completed
- optimized parts of the code
- squashed a couple bugs

Pending:
- Animate Frames
- GIF Details
- Create Spritesheet

NB*: While the application is cross-platform, it is currently only formatted for Windows.

Updated:
- fix a problem with the Extract Frames and Create Spritesheet features
- includes a couple enhancements

Animate Frames -- Advanced Settings
1. Access to some settings for single-frame GIF files.
-- if used on an animated GIF, only the first frame is included in the new file
-- use the Extract Frames feature to create a folder of GIF frames
2. The User[InputFlag] setting is not respected by most browsers
-- the large viewer (double-click thumbnail player) will pause the animation if the User[InputFlag] is set
3. Buttons...
-- File: reset all settings
-- Others: copy values from the corresponding green fields to the fields below

Create Spritesheet -- Advanced Settings
1. Frame clipping; each individual frame can be clipped using separate settings.
2. The filmstrip thumbnail viewer will show changes to a frame in real-time.
3. Buttons...
-- Frame: reset all settings
-- Others: copy values from the corresponding green fields to the fields below

Updated:
- fixed a couple bugs
- started a simple image editor
-- double-click filmstrip after loading GIF to open window

The image editor will include options for adding layered images, text, and shapes; to be used with the Extract (PNG) Frames and Create Spritesheet features.

NB*: If I ever get around to finishing the LZW-GIF encoding algorithm, the editor could also be used for modifying animated GIFs.

Hi
Please look and create with the sheets a (BF compatible) sheet info

Defacto,
the ability to access the frame data of a sheet automatically simplifies handling significant
Without such functionality, the handling of Sprite sheets is annoying and time-consuming

You can simple use the creating code from the PB Sprite Tool

Once I finish the image editor, I will look take a look at your Sprite Tool.

Image editor has been updated; still a work in progress.
- after a GIF is loaded, double-click a filmstrip frame to open the editor
- hold down the CTRL key while pressing the arrow keys to move between frames

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Image editor has been updated; added drawing directly onto the image.
- Add Image, Add Text, Draw Circle, Draw Square, Draw Line

NOTES
Add Image: If the width is selected from options then the height will be calculated, and vice versa.
