####Dependencies please note this helper will not work with lower versions of sass and compass framework

Name	Version
SASS	3.3.4
COMPASS	1.0.0.alpha19

###Spriting helper usage Copy _spriting.scss to your project directory and @import it to your main .scss file. Create two folders in scss images folder. For example I've created icons folder for standard images and icons@x2 for x2 bigger images for retina screens. Make sure that retina images are divisible by 4 or at least 2. If they are not, this can lead to background position shifting and wrong background positioning for retina screens.

In your main .scss file add @include directive with choosen options to generate sprite images. $class and $name options is nessesary. When use pseudo classes for sprites, class name should be '&'.

###Global options Default folder name is icons but you can change it (if using retina images don't forget to create icons@x2 folder). Also those options should be placed above @import "spriting" just like that:

$icons-map: 'icons' //optional! if you keep folder name "icons"
$retina-sprite: false //by default retina spriting if set to false
$comma-separated: true //by default is set to true if you don't want comma-separated classes set it to false
@import "spriting";

###Local options which can be used while generating sprite images.

@include sprites($class: '&', $name:'icon-name') //if adding inside class as a module with $pseudo:true
@include sprites($class: '.class-name', $name:'icon-name', $pseudo: false) //if adding as standalone class or selector within a module
@include sprites-states($name:'active-icon') //add this mixin into sprite class if you need any additional states for your icons i.e. active, opened etc...

if additional states needs to be added, your code should look like this:

.my-class{
  &.active{
    @include sprites-states($name:'active-icon')
  }
}
//it also contains local variable:
$pseudo: true //set to false if your parent class is not a pseudo class.

###List of local options You can enable hover state, just add image to icons folder and attach -hover to your image name.

$hover: false //bool

By default sprite images is enabled to use with pseudo classes/elements

$pseudo: true //bool

By default element size is set to true it applies width and height from actual source image, if you don't need them for any reason you can set it to false.

$size: true //bool

By default centering is set to false if you need to center your image to x, y or both axis use one of these options.

$center: false //bool
$center-y: false //bool
$center-x: false //bool

By default comma separated option is set to global state,if global is true it means local is true. If you need to use sprite into @media set $comma-separated to false localy when construct your sprites.

$comma-separated: $comma-separated //bool

###Compass config.rb While using this helper to generate sprite images, configuration options should be applied to your config.rb file (adjust path's to match your project).

dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
css_dir = "/Content/Styles"
sass_dir = "scss"
images_dir = "/Content/Styles/images"
sprite_load_path = "scss/images"
relative_assets = true
chunky_png_options = :best_compression
