Rails - Dec 2009 - Announcing: Spittle - a pure ruby spriting library for PNG images

Hello everyone,

I''d like to introduce you to Spittle.  It is a library that makes
generating
and using png sprites in your web applications simple.  You can use it as a
standalone gem or install it as a plugin in your Rails app.

If you haven''t heard of css sprites this is a good read:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites/

Spittle will take a set of png images and merge them into one large sprite.
 Along with this sprite Spittle will also generate a stylesheet you can use
to access the images within the sprite.  For an example see:

http://github.com/aberant/spittle/tree/master/examples/sprites/

Full documentation & source is available on GitHub:

http://github.com/aberant/spittle

This is an early release and there are a few things to note.  Spittle is
well tested, but there are likely a few bugs lurking.  If you find one let
us know and we''ll fix it.  Currently we only support a subset of the
PNG
specification, so spittle will work with most, but not all PNGs.

I hope you find Spittle useful.  If you have an idea how we could make
Spittle better or if you would like to help please feel free to contact me.


cheers,

-Tyler Jennings
