Mac OS X application for splitting large images up into tiles

Tile-Cutter (by Jeff LaMarche)

Tile Cutter is an open source under the non-viral MIT license.
Tile Cutter will take a large image and split it up into smaller tiles. I created this for use in a CATiledLayer-backed view for an iPad application, but it could be used for a number of other purposes.

This Fork (by Stepan Generalov)

In this fork of Tile Cutter there was added some things:

1. Plist file, that have info about tiles position and source image size.
2. Skipping of absolutely transparent tiles
3. Command Line Tool
4. Rigid Tile Size (can be useful if you need fixed tile size, even if image don't fit)

There's some minor issues in this fork, that i probably will not fix, cause everything is working fine for me now:

1. You can't choose other than PNG file type in commandLine tool.
2. You can't set suffix in GUI.
3. There's no progressBar in commandLine tool. Here's a link, that maybe can help you with implementing non-duplicating progress bar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
4. rigidTilesSize option is available only in commandLine tool. (It allows you to have all tiles with equal size with black pixels that is out of image area)

If you're using Tile-Cutter and experiencing some issues - feel free to open new Issues or Pull Requests in this Repo.

tile-cutter's Issues

New option: --roundTileSizeToPOT

Без --rigidTIleSize это позволит сохранять в pvr.ccz автоматически - без явного указания неделимого размера.

Crashes in cmdLine Tool if inputFile not exists

Add a check and tell user if file not exists.
Probably there's no such problem with GUI app

PPI value of png causes confusion in imageSize in plist

Use NSImageRep instead of NSImage to get size.

Enable all features in both cmdLine and GUI app

Only PNG is supported in CMDLine
There's no --rigidTilesSize & --outputSuffix in GUI

Build Error

With XCode 4.2, it bailed on -fobjc-nonfragile-abi2

Removed it, and then it compiled fine. This term is un-googleable to me, so I have no idea what it does.

Better CMDLine Tool Usage

There's no --rigidTilesSize in listed options and usage output can be better.

Missing Synthesize

In TileCutterCore.m a synthesize is missing:

@synthesize tileRowCount, tileColCount, progressCol, progressRow;

Command Line Tool crashes in

Original message by Davewise from cocos2d-iphone.org forum:

I think something is going on with the latest version of tileCutter and png files. I grabbed the latest cocos2d-iphone-extensions 0.2 and opened up the cocos2d-extensions-ios.xcodeproj. I looked in the CCBigImageTest folder and noticed that the png files pointed to in the xcodeproj are replaced with jpg files. So I saved them as png files and changed prepareTiles.sh so that it would point to the png files. tileCutter will crash if you do this. Note that it didn't crash in the past when I tried this. You can try this yourself to see the results. Here is the output from my terminal:

./prepareTiles.sh
