## README

![](https://i.imgur.com/7aOmSQb.png)

A simple utility to help you pack and manage texture atlases for [libGDX game framework](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx).
It's mostly just a visual wrapper over [libGDX TexturePacker](https://libgdx.com/wiki/tools/texture-packer)
and provides some extra features.

This project is a successor of [Aurelien Ribon's application](https://web.archive.org/web/20170803205402/http://www.aurelienribon.com/blog/2012/06/texturepacker-gui-support-for-multiple-packs/) with the whole new GUI and features.

### Using the App
Just download the most recent version of the installer/distribution matching your OS from the [releases page](https://github.com/crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui/releases) and follow the installer instructions. 
Or simply download the distribution files archive, extract, and read `./readme.txt` for further details.

### System Requirements
The app works on any major desktop OS (Linux, macOS, Windows), where Java is available.

The requirements are as follows:
1. Java Runtime Environment (JRE 8.0 and up) should be installed on your system (`java` command is available from the command-line interface).
2. OpenGL (2.0 and up) compatible video drivers. 

All major changes are listed in [this file](https://github.com/crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui/blob/master/CHANGES).

### Command Line
The app has a headless batch mode that allows automation.

For example, to pack a specific atlas from the project:
```shell
gdx-texture-packer --batch --project "/path/to/project.tpproj" --atlases "atlas_name" "another_atlas_name"
```

Here's a tool to compress any PNG/JPEG image to a KTX2/Basis texture.
```shell
gdx-texture-packer --basis-pack --container ktx2 --format uastc "/path/to/any.png|jpg"
```

Learn more about CLI options from the help message:
```shell
