I'm still hoping for a rotational angle range option (neg to pos degrees; example, -30 to plus 40; -180 to +180 or, of course default to no rotation) as well as multiple objects to pack, but, I do asketh for too much. lol

Like the smiley filled star samj and the paisley shirt to Wallace:)

I don't think your askingeth for to mucheth. :rofl

Lyle, you are indeed asking for too much :-)
Eventually, I will try to allow rotations of the shapes but only for angles that are multiples of 90°.

lol; OK David. Was going to ask for multiple objects that cluster based on color fills from the outline mask, but I won't. lololol

I had some time today to add the 'angle constraint' feature in command '-pack_sprites', and so, it affects the filters 'Pack Sprites' and 'Shapeism', where you can now allow 90° or 180° versions of your sprites to be included in the packing

Here are two results I've got with the updated filters.
First is with 'Pack Sprites', and an angle constraint of 90° :

And the second, with the 'Shapeism' filter, and an angle constraint of 90° :

I will think about doing this for arbitrary angles, but this is quite harder to code.

Now it's really becoming interesting David. Thanks for the update.

Just saw this picture at Flickr David and said, maybe one day it can be done in G'MIC (linking only). lol

lyle : Do you mean you'd like to see something like this for instance ?

2 tests "gimp_pack_sprites"

G'MIC Command line :
gmic -m gmic_def.gmic motif.png masque2.png -gimp_pack_sprites 5,25,1,2,1,32,1,30,30 -o[-2] test2.png

Samj, now the 'allow_angle' parameter can be also '3' for any random angle

Awesome. Figure you are a rocket scientist type David so you would figure it out soon enough. lol

Now for multiple objects (yup; asketh for too much; lol). Very cool indeed. Like samj's smile's again too. Hope samj saw my link to that flickr site too. lol

Who doesn't like smileys?

Hey David; getting this error when I use the attached object.

*** Error in ./gimp_pack_sprites/*if/../pack_sprites/*repeat/*local/*repeat/ *** Command '-object3d': Invalid 3d object [3], specified in argument '[-3],0,0,0,1,2,0,0' (CImg3d (4,4) has incomplete opacity data for primitive 1).

Right Lyle, I've just fixed the bug. Thanks for reporting.

PS : Well, seems to be not fixed. Still investigating...

Worked fine with my pentunia though. Maybe the object can't have multiple objects inside as words would have or the problem's with using a rectangular object as opposed to one that is more square (have to do some yard work; don't have much time to trouble-shoot. lol).

lylejk · **Joined:** Sep 24, 2010 **Posts:** 12833

One other observation. If I choose the no rotation option (0 deg) for the petunia, it crashes too.

Ronounours · **Joined:** Jan 03, 2011 **Posts:** 1656

Ha yes Lyle, that's it, an object cannot have disconnected opaque shapes in it, otherwise it cannot work.

lylejk · **Joined:** Sep 24, 2010 **Posts:** 12833

That's cool David; not sure why 0 deg crashes w/ my petunia though.
