Sprite.FromTex

static Sprite FromTex(Tex image, SpriteType type, string atlasId)

Create a sprite from a Texture object!


Tex image	The texture to build a sprite from. Must be a valid, 2D image!
SpriteType type	Should this sprite be atlased, or an individual image? Adding this as an atlased image is better for performance, but will cause the atlas to be rebuilt! Images that take up too much space on the atlas, or might be loaded or unloaded during runtime may be better as Single rather than Atlased!
string atlasId	The name of which atlas the sprite should belong to, this is only relevant if the SpriteType is Atlased.
RETURNS: Sprite	A Sprite asset, or null if the image failed when adding to the sprite system!

Examples

Generating Particle Sprites

Sometimes you just need a small blob of color for visual effects or other things! Instead of firing up an image editor, you can just use Tex.GenParticle!

This sample generates a number of different shapes defined by the roundness parameter. Starting at 0, and increasing at .1 increments to 1.0.

Sprite[] sprites = new Sprite[10];
for (int i = 0; i < sprites.Length; i++)
{
	float roundness   = i / (float)(sprites.Length - 1);
	Tex   particleTex = Tex.GenParticle(64, 64, roundness);
	sprites[i] = Sprite.FromTex(particleTex, SpriteType.Single);
}
// :End:

spriteList = sprites;



ublic void Step() {
Hierarchy.Push(Matrix.T(0,4,2));

Sprite[] sprites = spriteList;

:CodeSample: Tex.GenParticle Sprite.FromTex And here’s what that looks like when you draw using this code!

for (int i = 0; i < sprites.Length; i++)
	sprites[i].Draw(Matrix.TS(V.XY0(i%5, -i/5)*0.1f, 0.1f), TextAlign.TopRight);
