Class: Spritesheet

PIXI.Spritesheet

Utility class for maintaining reference to a collection of Textures on a single Spritesheet.

To access a sprite sheet from your code pass its JSON data file to Pixi's loader:

PIXI.loader.add("images/spritesheet.json").load(setup);

function setup() {
  let sheet = PIXI.loader.resources["images/spritesheet.json"].spritesheet;
  ...
}

With the sheet.textures you can create Sprite objects,sheet.animations can be used to create an AnimatedSprite.

Sprite sheets can be packed using tools like TexturePacker, Shoebox or Spritesheet.js. Default anchor points (see PIXI.Texture#defaultAnchor) and grouping of animation sprites are currently only supported by TexturePacker.

new PIXI.Spritesheet (baseTexture, data, resolutionFilename)

Spritesheet.js:30
Name Type Default Description
baseTexture PIXI.BaseTexture

Reference to the source BaseTexture object.
data Object

Spritesheet image data.
resolutionFilename string null optional

The filename to consider when determining the resolution of the spritesheet. If not provided, the imageUrl will be used on the BaseTexture.

Members

PIXI.Spritesheet.BATCH_SIZE number static

The maximum number of Textures to build per process.

animations Object

A map containing the textures for each animation. Can be used to create an AnimatedSprite:

new PIXI.extras.AnimatedSprite(sheet.animations["anim_name"])
