This utility helps create sprite sheets and texture maps. It can even create sprite sheets from PSD
and SWF files. It has versatile output and supports Corona SDK, Gideros Studio, and Moai, in
addition to some other frameworks, and even supports the generic JSON format, which can be used
in any framework when parsed. The TexturePacker web site has some interesting information about
texture packaging, plus tutorials and articles to help you understand how to use TexturePacker.
TexturePacker can also be used to automate with the build process using Xcode, Ant, CMake,
and so on. Figure
