SYNOPSIS

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

--data <filename>
    File to store the sprite sheet metadata (.json file).

--sheet <filename>
    Image file to save the texture (.png).

--help
    Display help and exit.

--version

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.
