<a name="introduction"></a><h1>INTRODUCTION</h1>
<p>
<b>ASEPRITE</b> is an open source program to create animated
sprites. 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.
</p>
<p>
What makes ASEPRITE different? It focuses on pixel editing, to do
pixel-art. Indeed, it isn't a photo retouching tool or a vector
graphics editor. Mainly it is a tool to create tiny animations
pixel-by-pixel.
</p>
<a name="features"></a><h1>FEATURES</h1>
<p>
The main features of ASEPRITE are:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Sprites are composed by <b>layers</b> & <b>frames</b>.
</li>
<li>
Supported color modes: <b>RGBA</b>, <b>Indexed</b> (palettes up to 256 colors), and Grayscale.
</li>
<li>
Supported image formats (load/save): <b>PNG</b>, <b>GIF</b>, JPG, FLC, FLI, BMP, PCX, TGA, and ASE (special format).
</li>
<li>
Load and save animations in a <b>sequence of bitmaps</b> (e.g. frame1.png, frame2.png, etc.).
</li>
<li>
<b>Tiled</b> drawing mode, useful to draw <b>patterns</b> and textures.
</li>
<li>
<b>Undo/Redo</b> for every operation.
</li>
<li>
<b>Multiple editors</b> support. You can split an editor horizontally or vertically multiple times
to edit and view the same sprite with different zooms, or different sprites.
</li>
<li>
Import/Export <b>Sprite Sheets</b>.
</li>
<li>
Pixel art specific tools like filled <b>Contour</b> & <b>Polygon</b>.
</li>
<li>
<b>Onion skinning</b>.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<a name="configuration_files"></a><h1>CONFIGURATION FILES</h1>
<p>
In Windows XP/Vista/7 the main configuration file is
<em>aseprite.ini</em> which is saved in the same folder of
<em>aseprite.exe</em>
executable file (in this way ASEPRITE is a portable
application, i.e. you can transport a copy of the program
in your USB drive).
</p>
<p>
The following is a list of all configuration files that you could
modify (it is not recommended to do so, but is useful if you want to
<em>super</em>-customize ASEPRITE):
<p>
<p>
<pre>aseprite.ini Program configuration
data/gui.xml Menus, shortcuts, and tools
data/convmatr.def Convolutions matrices
data/skins/*.* ASEPRITE skins
data/widgets/*.xml XML files with dialogs</pre>
</p>
<p>
In GNU/Linux, the configuration file is ~/.asepriterc, and
the data/ files are searched in these locations (in priority
order):
</p>
<p>
<pre>$HOME/.aseprite/
../share/aseprite/
./data/</pre>
</p>
