Gophers
Gophers is a system for automating artwork exports, image manipulation, and the management of vector graphics libraries. It functions as an automated artwork exporter and a collection of scalable vector graphics and raster assets available under a public domain waiver.
The project includes a toolkit for image processing, specifically for resizing, cropping, and creating thumbnails from PNG and GIF files. It features a raster-to-vector converter to transform rasterized images into scalable graphics and a sprite extractor that uses JSON metadata to split large image sheets into individual files.
The system covers a broader range of media capabilities, including image collage generation, asset retrieval for mascots and themed graphics, and the export of raster formats into emoji sheets.
Features
- Artwork Export Automations - Automates the conversion of source artwork into various raster formats and emoji sheets for external project deployment.
- Artwork Export Pipelines - Automates the conversion of source artwork into various raster formats and emoji sheets for external project deployment.
- Sprite Sheet Mappings - Splits large image sprites into individual files using metadata to isolate specific visual assets.
- Vector Graphics Resources - Provides a collection of scalable vector graphics and clip art assets for design and development.
- Dimension Resizing - Scales PNG and GIF images to specific minimum widths and heights with centering and background fill.
- Image Processing Toolkits - Provides a toolkit for resizing, cropping, and creating thumbnails from PNG and GIF image files.
- Raster to Vector Converters - Transforms raster images into scalable vector graphics by piping data through specialized processing utilities.
- Public Domain Image Libraries - Provides a collection of vector and raster graphics under a public domain waiver for unrestricted reuse.
- Raster Image Processing - Provides tools for resizing images, creating thumbnails, and generating collages from existing raster files.
- Sprite Extractions - Isolates specific visual elements from larger sprite sheets using JSON metadata to create standalone assets.
- Vector Graphic Assets - Provides a collection of scalable vector graphics and raster assets available under a public domain waiver.
- Mascot Assets - Provides a collection of mascot character graphics in vector and raster formats for branding and documentation.
- Canvas Compositing - Places multiple scaled images onto a single canvas at specific X and Y offsets to create collages.
- Aspect Ratio Preservation - Implements logic to maintain original image proportions when generating downscaled thumbnails.
- Image Collage Generators - Creates composite images by scaling multiple source images into a grid layout.
- Thumbnail Generation - Produces downscaled versions of images while maintaining the original aspect ratio for optimization.
- Emoji Sheet Exports - Processes source artwork into fixed-size raster formats specifically tailored for emoji character sets.
- Unrestricted Asset Sourcing - Provides a system for retrieving unrestricted graphics and mascot illustrations for documentation and open source projects.
- Canvas Padding - Scales images to minimum dimensions while filling empty space with background colors to ensure centering.
