The Capper

I’ve recently written a little handy utility that some might find useful. The main idea: helping programers and designers understand the idea of resizable images and calculate the correct cap insets for an image based on how you want it to look.

This is a stretched image without defining cap insets. Ewwww.

After playing around with the controls – viola! Also, you’ll find all the code you need at the bottom.

Using this tool is pretty easy – download the XCode project from gitHub or CocoaControls, add the image you want to fiddle around with into the project and update the image’s name in Configuration.h

I know the name I chose kinda sounds like “The Crapper”. I only noticed it a moment before pushing to git. Screw you.

Enjoy!
