How to create sprite from PNG image

• find image and scale it down to 100x100 px (large icon) or smaller

  • to easily resize image on Ubuntu, use convert example.png -resize 100x100 example.png
  • you can also run convert example.png -resize 100x100! example.png to force image resize ignoring aspect ratio
  • resizing only height or width will allow for other size calculation

• save image in the same filder as the create_sprites.sh script

• use create_sprites.sh to generate sprites

• reference sprites in your plantuml diagram like so:

  !include https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Piotr1215/sprites/master/rest-api.puml

Alternative flow

• if svg image: inkscape -z -e out.png -w 100 -h 100 in.svg
• use plantuml command line to encode: plantuml --encodesprite 16 out.puml"
