Automatically creating sprite sheets in Gimp

# This script will tile the different layers in a Gimp file suitable for use as a sprite sheet.
# It assumes that all layers are stacked on top of each other and centered accordingly.
 
tile_width = 200  # The width of each tile frame (TODO: Retrieve this from the image boundaries)
tile_height = 180 # The height of each tile frame (TODO: Retrieve this from the image boundaries)
tile_x_cnt = 10   # How many tiles across the sprite sheet should be
 
img = 0    # Create a blank pointer to the image
for i in gimp.image_list():
  img = i  # Use the first image open in Gimp -- this has not been tested with more than one image open at a time
  break    # Exit the loop
 
# Look at each layer and resize it to the image size
for l in img.layers: 
  pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(l)
 
# Loop through each layer, and cascade them across the image in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom pattern.
cnt = 0
for l in img.layers:
  l.translate(cnt % tile_x_cnt * tile_width, int (cnt / tile_x_cnt) * tile_height)
  cnt = cnt + 1
 
# After running this script, go to the Image menu and select "Fit canvas to layers".
