- Added classes: IToolLoop, Tool, ToolGroup, ToolInk, ToolController, ToolPointShape, ToolIntertwine, ToolBox, etc. - Added ToolLoopManager. - Removed old src/modules/tools.cpp. - Added ISettings and UISettingsImpl, adding the tools settings (onion skinning, grid, tiled mode, etc.). - Added App::PenSizeBeforeChange, PenSizeAfterChange, CurrentToolChange signals. - Renamed Context::get_bg/fg_color to getBg/FgColor. - Refactored Brush class to Pen and added PenType. - Renamed tiled_t to TiledMode. - get_config_rect now uses the new Rect class imported from Vaca instead of old jrect. - Added default_skin.xml to load tool icons. - Added pen preview in Editor::cursor stuff. - Added Editor::decorators. Note: This big patch is from some time ago. I did my best to pre-commit other small changes before this big one. |

<a name="introduction"></a><h1>INTRODUCTION</h1>
<p>
<b>asëprite</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 asëprite 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 biggest features of asëprite are:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Sprites are composed by <b>layers and frames</b>. These two concept are separated.
You have layers in one side and frames on the other side. You can imagine this as a
matrix, where each row is a layer and each column is a frame.
</li>
<li>
Supported color modes: <b>RGBA</b>, Grayscale and <b>Indexed images</b> (palettes up to 256 colors).
</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>
Tiled drawing mode, useful to draw patterns and textures.
</li>
<li>
<b>Undo/Redo</b> for every operation.
</li>
<li>
Special tools like Blur, Jumble, Convolution Matrices.
</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>
<b>Onion skinning</b>.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<a name="configuration_files"></a><h1>CONFIGURATION FILES</h1>
<p>
In Windows 98/2K/XP/Vista the main configuration file is
<em>aseprite.cfg</em> which is saved in the same folder of
<em>aseprite.exe</em>
executable file (in this way asëprite 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 asëprite):
<p>
<p>
<pre>aseprite.cfg Program configuration
data/gui.xml Menus, shortcuts, and tools
data/convmatr.def Convolutions matrices
data/fonts/*.pcx Fonts to be used in the GUI
data/jids/*.jid XML files with dialogs
data/skins/*.* asëprite skins</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>$HOME/.aseprite/
/usr/local/share/aseprite/
data/</pre>
</p>
<a name="developers"></a><h1>DEVELOPERS</h1>
<a name="compilation"></a><h2>COMPILATION</h2>
<p>
Before compile, you have to configure how to compile asëprite, what
libraries are available, release-debug-profile mode, etc. You can
run the "fix.sh" script, answer some questions and done: the main
makefile is created, just do
</p>
<p>
<pre>make</pre>
</p>
<p>
Or you could edit the "makefile.cfg", uncomment CONFIGURED=1 and
uncomment the necessary options, and then run
</p>
<p>
<pre>makefile -f makefile.lnx</pre>
</p>
<p>
For MinGW, edit the "makefile.cfg" file, and then
</p>
<p>
<pre>makefile -f makefile.mgw</pre>
</p>
<a name="installation"></a><h2>INSTALLATION</h2>
<p>
After compilation, you have two options:
</p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
Running asëprite from its source directory.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Install asëprite in the directory that you specified in the "fix.sh" question:
"Where do you want install ASE by default?" (generally "/usr/local")
(in the "makefile.cfg", it's the DEFAULT_PREFIX variable)
</p>
<p>
Run "make install" (it only works in Unix like systems)
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</p>
<a name="uninstallation"></a><h2>UNINSTALLATION</h2>
<p>
Run "make uninstall".
</p>
<a name="subversion"></a><h2>SUBVERSION</h2>
<p>
If you downloaded asëprite from the Subversion repository, after
updating I recommend you to do:
</p>
<p>
<pre>~/ase-trunk/$ make clean
~/ase-trunk/$ ./fix.sh
~/ase-trunk/$ make</pre>
</p>
<p>
Also, you can make dependencies of the files (if you are trying to
hack the asëprite source code):
</p>
<p>
<pre>~/ase-trunk/$ sh misc/deps.sh</pre>
</p>
<a name="contact_information"></a><h1>CONTACT INFORMATION</h1>
<p>We recommend you to use the SourceForge tracker to do specific reporting of issues:</p>
