image-sdf


Command-line tool which takes a 4-channel RGBA image and generates a signed distance field. The bitmask is determined by pixels with alpha over 128 and any RGB channel over 128.

!img1

``sh


install the tool

npm install image-sdf -g

apply the effect on an image

and pipe it to a new file

image-sdf atlas.png --spread 32 --downscale 2 > atlas-sdf.png
`

The code has been adpated from libgdx.

PRs welcome. This could be split into more modules (generating a bit mask, computing SDF, better image support, etc).

Usage


`
image-sdf input.png [opt]

Options:
-o, --output output file
-s, --spread distance spread amount, default 1
-d, --downscale amount to downscale the output, default 1
-c, --color output color, accepts css strings, default #fff
-h Show help
`

Examples:

`
image-sdf input.png -c "rgb(128,255,20)" -s 10 -o output.png
image-sdf input.png --spread 2 --downscale 2 > output.png
image-sdf input.png --color black -o build/output.png
``

The programmatic API may evolve into their own modules, i.e. for custom bitmasks.
