Overview
Safely converts an external sprite sheet with margins or spacing into PixPipeline's standard
SpriteSheet. It shows cyan split lines and confidence before confirmation, preventing a
bad automatic split from silently reaching downstream nodes.
Usage tips
- Select the sheet image and preview
overlay. - Even at confidence 0.75 or above, verify that every frame fits inside the cyan boxes.
- If the split is wrong, switch to Manual and adjust columns, rows, frame dimensions, top-left margin, and spacing.
- Review
SPRITESHEET_EMPTY_CELLandSPRITESHEET_UNUSED_PIXELS. When intentional, enable Confirm This Split.
After confirmation, margins and spacing are removed and frames are repacked into the existing
SpriteSheet schema. Margin and spacing are not added to the stored format.
Common mistakes
- Fully transparent rows or columns inside a character can make automatic detection split too finely. Use Manual when confidence is low.
- If translucent edge noise hides separators, raise Transparency Threshold gradually from about 0.05 to 0.15. Too high a value can erase faint effects, so recheck the overlay.
- Before confirmation,
spritesheetis a safe 1×1 placeholder. If downstream appears empty, confirm the reviewed split.
