Is there a library to do CSS spriting automatically?

Question

CSS Spriting can really help performance, but it's not the easiest thing to read and maintain. Are there any tools that would let me code the images individually but aggregate them up and replace the HTML with the correct subset of the montage?

I'm specifically thinking a Ruby on Rails plugin, but if there's a package for another language, I'd be happy to port it.

Answer 1

SmartSprites

Try it.

Answer 2

I haven't tried it, but image_bundle appears to be what you want:

Answer 3

image_bundle is only for RMagick. I am trying to port it over to imagescience.

Answer 4

This one seems promising http://github.com/sblackstone/auto_sprite
