DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
aseprite program.
aseprite (aka ASE, Allegro Sprite Editor) is a program to create animated
sprites & pixel art. Sprites are little images that can be used in your
website or in a video game. You can draw characters with movement, intros,
textures, patterns, backgrounds, logos, color palettes, isometric levels, etc.
OPTIONS¶
A summary of options is included below.
- --palette <filename>
- Use a specific palette by default.
- --shell
- Start an interactive console to execute scripts.
- --batch
- Do not start the UI.
- --data <filename>
- File to store the sprite sheet metadata (.json file).
- --sheet <filename>
- Image file to save the texture (.png).
- --verbose
- Explain what is being done (in stderr or a log file).
- --help
- Display help and exit.
- --version
- Output version information and exit.
RESIZING¶
- Resizing of the window is unfortunately not possible with this version,
because it requires a patched version of Allegro. Until the patch is in an
official Allegro release and in Debian, one can set the size of the window
in ~/.config/aseprite/aseprite.ini via the Width and Height settings in the
section [GfxMode]. If these entries don't exist, start and close Aseprite
once.
To get a version of Aseprite with resizing capability, one can obtain and
compile the code from
https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite.
