Texture Atlas
arcade.AtlasRegion
arcade.TextureAtlas
- class arcade.TextureAtlas(size: Tuple[int, int], *, border: int = 1, textures: Sequence[Texture] = None, auto_resize: bool = True, ctx: ArcadeContext = None)[source]
A texture atlas with a size in a context.
A texture atlas is a large texture containing several textures so OpenGL can easily batch draw thousands or hundreds of thousands of sprites on one draw operation.
This is a fairly simple atlas that stores horizontal strips were the height of the strip is the texture/image with the larges height.
Adding a texture to this atlas generates a texture id. This id is used the sprite list vertex data to reference what texture each sprite is using. The actual texture coordinates are located in a float32 texture this atlas is responsible for keeping up to date.
- Parameters
size (Tuple[int, int]) – The width and height of the atlas in pixels
border (int) – Currently no effect; Should always be 1 to avoid textures bleeding
textures (Sequence[arcade.Texture]) – The texture for this atlas
auto_resize (bool) – Automatically resize the atlas when full
ctx (Context) – The context for this atlas (will use window context if left empty)
- add(texture: Texture) Tuple[int, arcade.texture_atlas.AtlasRegion] [source]
Add a texture to the atlas.
- Parameters
texture (Texture) – The texture to add
- Returns
texture_id, AtlasRegion tuple
- allocate(texture: Texture) Tuple[int, int, int, arcade.texture_atlas.AtlasRegion] [source]
Attempts to allocate space for a texture in the atlas. This doesn’t write the texture to the atlas texture itself. It only allocates space.
- Returns
The x, y texture_id, TextureRegion
- property auto_resize: bool
Get or set the auto resize flag for the atlas. If enabled the atlas will resize itself when full.
- Return type
- classmethod calculate_minimum_size(textures: Sequence[Texture], border: int = 1)[source]
Calculate the minimum atlas size needed to store the the provided sequence of textures
- Parameters
textures (Sequence[Texture]) – Sequence of textures
border –
- Returns
An estimated minimum size as a (width, height) tuple
- clear(texture_ids: bool = True, texture: bool = True) None [source]
Clear and reset the texture atlas. Note that also clearing “texture_ids” makes the atlas lose track of the old texture ids. This means the sprite list must be rebuild from scratch.
- classmethod create_from_texture_sequence(textures: Sequence[Texture], border: int = 1) TextureAtlas [source]
Create a texture atlas of a reasonable size from a sequence of textures.
- property fbo: arcade.gl.framebuffer.Framebuffer
The framebuffer object for this atlas
- get_region_info(name: str) arcade.texture_atlas.AtlasRegion [source]
Get the region info for a texture
- Returns
The AtlasRegion for the given texture name
- get_texture_id(name: str) int [source]
Get the uv slot for a texture name
- Returns
The texture id for the given texture name
- rebuild() None [source]
Rebuild the underlying atlas texture.
This method also tries to organize the textures more efficiently ordering them by size. The texture ids will persist so the sprite list don’t need to be rebuilt.
- remove(texture: Texture) None [source]
Remove a texture from the atlas.
This doesn’t remove the image from the underlying texture. To physically remove the data you need to
rebuild()
.- Parameters
texture (Texture) – The texture to remove
- render_into(texture: Texture, projection: Tuple[float, float, float, float] = None)[source]
Render directly into a sub-section of the atlas. The sub-section is defined by the already allocated space of the texture supplied in this method.
By default the projection will be set to match the texture area size were 0, 0 is the lower left corner and width, height (of texture) is the upper right corner.
This method should should be used with the
with
statement:with atlas.render_into(texture): # Draw commands here # Specify projection with atlas.render_into(texture, projection=(0, 100, 0, 100)) # Draw geometry
- resize(size: Tuple[int, int]) None [source]
Resize the atlas on the gpu.
This will copy the pixel data from the old to the new atlas retaining the exact same data. This is useful if the atlas was rendered into directly and we don’t have to transfer each texture individually from system memory to graphics memory.
- save(path: str) None [source]
Save the texture atlas to a png.
- Parameters
path (str) – The path to save the atlas on disk
- to_image() PIL.Image.Image [source]
Convert the atlas to a Pillow image
- Returns
A pillow image containing the atlas texture
- update_texture_image(texture: Texture)[source]
Updates the internal image of a texture in the atlas texture. The new image needs to be the exact same size as the original one meaning the texture already need to exist in the atlas.
This can be used in cases were the image is manipulated in some way and we need a quick way to sync these changes to graphics memory. This operation is fairly expensive, but still orders of magnitude faster than removing the old texture, adding the new one and re-building the entire atlas.
- Parameters
texture (Texture) – The texture to update
- use_uv_texture(unit: int = 0) None [source]
Bind the texture coordinate texture to a channel. In addition this method writes the texture coordinate to the texture if the data is stale. This is to avoid a full update every time a texture is added to the atlas.
- Parameters
unit (int) – The texture unit to bind the uv texture
- write_image(image: PIL.Image.Image, x: int, y: int) None [source]
Write a PIL image to the atlas in a specific region.
- Parameters
image (PIL.Image.Image) – The pillow image
x (int) – The x position to write the texture
y (int) – The y position to write the texture
