Does app.command.GridSettings support ui = false?

GangeSatoya · January 14, 2022, 10:47am

Hi.
I’m currently experimenting to see if it’s possible to script a grid setting for a specific size without using the GUI.

I would like to implement this using Does app.command.GridSettings, but I can’t get it to work.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @GangeSatoya,

Would you achieve your goal by setting a Sprite's gridBounds with a Rectangle?

github.com

aseprite/api/blob/main/api/sprite.md#spritegridbounds

# Sprite

## Sprite()

```lua
local sprite = Sprite(width, height)
local sprite = Sprite(width, height, colorMode)
local sprite = Sprite(spec)
local sprite = Sprite(otherSprite)
local sprite = Sprite{ fromFile=filename }
local sprite = Sprite{ fromFile=filename, oneFrame }
```

Creates a new sprite with the given `width` and `height`. The
[color mode](colormode.md#colormode) is optional, [RGB](colormode.md#colormodergb)
by default.

The `spec` parameter is an [image specification](imagespec.md#imagespec) object.

If `otherSprite` is given (other `Sprite` object), the sprite is duplicated.

This file has been truncated. show original

Looks like app.command.showGrid() toggles the grid display on and off.

Best,
Jeremy

Hi @behreandtjeremy

With your advice, I was able to implement it successfully!

I’ve attached the code for those who have the same question.
This code will automatically display a 24x24 grid with no offset.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!


-- Get the active sprite and assign it to the local variable <sprite>
local sprite = app.activeSprite 

-- Specify an arbitrary Rectangle and assign it to the local variable <gridSize>
local gridSize = Rectangle(0, 0, 24, 24)

-- Assign the value of the Rectangle variable to sprite.gridBounds
sprite.gridBounds = gridSize
