µPS (npm package gulp-mu-ps)

English (below) · Deutsch

The technical package name is gulp-mu-ps (the µ character causes trouble in npm/git names); µPS is the display name.

Version: 1.3.5 ·

Node module that replaces the image-processing functions of the old Adobe-based µCSS™ workflow — without an Adobe dependency for the build. PSD sources via ag-psd, rendering via sharp. Authoring layered drafts: your choice — Affinity, Adobe Photoshop (via OS association or explicit .exe), Photopea (browser), or any app via OpenDrafts({ app: "<exe>" }). Set MU_DRAFT_APP: default | affinity | photopea | path to executable.

Documentation policy: Generators, DSD, adjustments, transforms, PSD compositor, reference regression and the draft workflow are documented centrally in the µCSS™ manual (chapter microPS). This README is a quick npm overview only.

Overview

| Component | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | | ButtonAndIconCreator | Button/icon series from PSD drafts (layouts × glyphs or top-layer sets) | | AppIconMaker | App icons / favicons (web, ios, play profiles) | | SpriteAtlas | Sprite atlas (basis for µ.Sprite / µ.Cursor in µCSS™) | | TileSheet | Uniform tiles, dedupe, square textures | | SequenceStrip | Horizontal strips from image sequences or DSD images | | CreateDsdFromImages, CreatePsdWithSequence | DSD authoring and PSD sequence groups | | ApplyAdjustmentStack, Transforms, MaskFromRects, ResizeCanvas | Adjustments, raster ops, canvas size, masks | | CreateRaster, CloneRaster, MuPsDoc | Raster baseline + JSX-style entry | | PsDocument, RenderDocument | PSD load and layer compositing | | OpenDrafts, OpenPhotopeaDrafts, WatchDrafts | Draft workflow: Affinity, Photopea (browser + save-back), OS default |

App-specific pipelines (e.g. Oxyd tile post-production) belong in the app gulpfile, not in this npm package.

Quick start

import { ButtonAndIconCreator } from "gulp-mu-ps";

await ButtonAndIconCreator.Create("drafts/buttons.psd", {
	layout: "aqua",
	outputDir: "imgs/aqua"
});

Integrated into µCSS™ via media steps in the skin manifest — see the µCSS™ manual.

Photopea (optional): await OpenPhotopeaDrafts(["draft.psd"], { saveBack: true }) — only if you prefer the browser.
Affinity / Photoshop: OpenDrafts(["draft.psd"], { app: "affinity" }) or { app: "default" } / path to Photoshop.exe.

Requirements

Node ≥ 18.

µPS (npm-Paket gulp-mu-ps)

English · Deutsch (unten)

Der technische Paketname ist gulp-mu-ps; µPS ist der Anzeigename.

Version: 1.3.5 ·

Node-Modul für die bildverarbeitenden Funktionen des alten Adobe-µCSS™-Workflows — Build ohne Adobe-Abhängigkeit. PSD via ag-psd, Rendering via sharp. Entwürfe: frei wählbar — Affinity, Photoshop, Photopea oder OpenDrafts({ app: "<exe>" }). MU_DRAFT_APP: default | affinity | photopea | Pfad zur .exe.

Doku-Richtlinie: Generatoren, DSD, Anpassungen, Transformationen, PSD-Compositor, Referenz-Regression und Draft-Workflow stehen zentral im µCSS™-Handbuch (Kapitel microPS). Diese README ist nur ein npm-Kurzüberblick.
