Python Script for Generating Tile Data

From Uzebox Wiki

About

This is a python script that converts a picture file to a C tiles file. Command-line arguments specify the width and height of the image in tiles, as well as the tile width and height in pixels. It's not perfect, but it allows use Gimp/Photoshop for image editing. The PIL library also supports the majority of image types, so (in theory) it will support any of the image types supported by that library. This utility, however, has only been tested with PNG.

Prequisites

Use

The tool provides it's own online help. Simply run it with no arguments or the --help command:

Uzebox tile dataset generator V2 - creates source from image data
(c) 2009 Eric Anderton

Usage: convertgfx [options] IMAGEFILE

-x --width <value>       Width of each tile in the image (default 8)
-y --height <value>      Height of each tile in the image (default 8)
-c --columns <value>     Number of tiles to gather in a row
-r --rows <values>       Number of tile rows to gather
-i --ident <identifier>  Identifier of the data set on output
-w --wide                Output in wide format
-l --lang c|asm          Output in C format or AVR8 asm, respectively
-p --pack                Bit-pack monochrome font
-h --help                Show this message

Updates in this revision include an experimental 'monochrome bitpacked mode', and the ability to target AVR8 assembler as well as C for output. The assumptions of 6 and 8 pixel wide tile images has also been discarded in favor of explicit height and width values. Bounds checking has also been added for all of the size parameters. Code quality has also been dramatically reduced for your reading pleasure.

Example

First, make an image the contains your tile data. Uze's tileset sources in trunk/gfx is a great example of what things should look like. Then run it through the program:

python convertgfx.py -x 6 fonts.png
python convertgfx.py -x 8 fonts_8x8.png

These will create "fonts.c" and "fonts_8x8.c" respectively.

convertgfx.py

Be sure to observe the prerequisites above.

note for linux users

python PIL can be installed by doing:

apt-get install python-imaging

Make sure to add "#!/usr/bin/python" as the top of the script. and set the file format to unix, in vi, it's as easy as:

:set fileformat=unix
