canvassmith Build status

node-canvas engine for spritesmith.

Requirements

By default, binaries for macOS, Linux and Windows will be downloaded. But if you don't have a supported OS or processor architecture the module will be compiled on your system. This requires several dependencies from node-canvas, you must install Cairo and Pango.

Instructions on how to do this are provided in the node-canvas wiki.

Additionally, you will need to install node-gyp.

npm install -g node-gyp

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install canvassmith

// Load in our dependencies
var Canvassmith = require('canvassmith');

// Create a new engine
var canvassmith = new Canvassmith();

// Interpret some images from disk
canvassmith.createImages(['img1.jpg', 'img2.png'], function handleImages (err, imgs) {
  // If there was an error, throw it
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }

  // We recieve images in the same order they were given
  imgs[0].width; // 50 (pixels)
  imgs[0].height; // 100 (pixels)

  // Create a canvas that fits our images (200px wide, 300px tall)
  var canvas = canvassmith.createCanvas(200, 300);

  // Add the images to our canvas (at x=0, y=0 and x=50, y=100 respectively)
  canvas.addImage(imgs[0], 0, 0);
  canvas.addImage(imgs[1], 50, 100);

  // Export canvas to image
  var resultStream = canvas['export']({format: 'png'});
  resultStream; // Readable stream outputting PNG image of the canvas
});
