GLSL Glyphs Generator

Generate GLSL ready 8x8 glyph maps and usable functions

Usage

usage: glsl-glyphs [-h] -i INPUT_FILE [-n NAME] -o OUTPUT_FILE [-g NAMES_FILE] [-s SETS_FILE] [-f | --functions | --no-functions]
                   [-v | --verbose | --no-verbose] [-q | --quiet | --no-quiet]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i, --input INPUT_FILE
                        png 8x8 glyph map
  -n, --name NAME       target derived name for GLSL constants and functions (default: glyph)
  -o, --output OUTPUT_FILE
                        output glsl file
  -g, --glyph-names NAMES_FILE
                        glyphs names, one line each
  -s, --sets SETS_FILE  defined sets in CSV: index,length,name
  -f, --functions, --no-functions
                        add GLSL functions to output
  -v, --verbose, --no-verbose
                        more verbose logging
