View source for Sprite Editor Auto Tab

The ''Auto'' tab is used to automatically create multiple sprites or animations from a single texture in the [[Sprite Editor | Sprite Editor]].


[[File:SpriteAutoTab.png|link=]]


'''Frames Per Sprite''' - number of frames in each sprite (more than 1 gives an animated sprite)

'''Rows''' - number of rows to use

'''Columns''' - number of columns to use


The example above will create 4 animated sprites, each with 16 frames, from an 8x8 sheet of sprites.  The sprite size and top left corner position are set in the [[Sprite Editor Sprite Tab | Sprite tab]]. The duration of each frame of an animated sprite and whether it should loop are set in the [[Sprite Editor Animation Tab | Animation tab]].


To make a single animated sprite from the purple sprites, change the Y position on the [[Sprite Editor Sprite Tab | Sprite tab]] to the top of the first purple sprite, leave Frames Per Sprite at 16 and Columns at 8 and change Rows to 2.


To make 64 individual sprites, change Frames Per Sprite to 1 and leave Rows and Columns on 8.
