\fBaseprite\fP (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.

.SH RESIZING
.TP
Resizing of the window by dragging the window borders is unfortunately not possible with this version of Aseprite. The window size can be changed by editing the configuration file.
.PP
To get a version of Aseprite with resizing capability, one can obtain and compile the code from https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite,
which contains a patched version of the Allegro library. Another alternative is to buy a compiled version on http://www.aseprite.org.
