Software/Plugin for css sprite generation

Hello, does anyone know if there exists any offline software or plugin(dreamweaver, etc) to generate a css sprite. That is: merging images and generating the css rules.

I know there is a post here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/527336/tools-to-make-css-sprites

but all of those are online generation tools.

+2 A:

I have created a Ruby library that can generate sprite images and CSS rules, which I have not fully published yet (I'm wanting to Add more features, such as CSS rewriting, so I'm waiting).

Not wanting to spam, add a comment and I'll send you the link.

As for dreamweaver plugins or desktop applications, none I am aware of.

I have no experience of ruby, but could I run it on localhost and get the functionality from it?

Yes. http://github.com/ckwalsh/RubySprites/ is the package, my email is in the README. You will need ruby ("sudo apt-get install ruby") and the GD or rmagick gems ("sudo apt-get install gem; sudo gem install gd2"). THe script you need is in the examples directory. I haven't cleaned it yet (aka, it's not the most intuitive at the moment, and definitely needs documentation) but my email is in the README, feel free to contact me.

There is a pure ruby library to generate css sprites. that means no dependancy on rmagic or other libraries.
