Why not SVG?

This is a tool primarily designed to make it quick and easy to get the static image for a pattern infobox in the wiki. The wiki likes PNG files.

Is there a tool to do this with bigger image sizes? It only goes up to 512x512 and I just want a quick way to convert an RLE into a PNG file.

To be clear, the max. image size is 512x512, not the bounding box.

I didn't want to have larger images to avoid them being uploaded to the wiki.

You might want to try giffer.pay or giffer.lua. They support arbitrarily large gifs(can be stationary, so you can convert them to png)

You can also do similar in LifeViewer:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
b2o2b2o$3b2o$3b2o$obo2bobo$o6bo2$o6bo$b2o2b2o$2b4o2$3b2o$3b2o!
[[ THEME Inverse GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 AUTOFIT ]]

Use Settings->Pattern->Save Image (hotkey O).

The black cells in the Walrus image are misaligned.

This appears to be an issue stemming from RLE2PNG. Each on cell is placed one pixel too high, so it overlaps part of the border while leaving a white line at the bottom of the cell.

Also, the grid lines are slightly darker where the horizontal and vertical lines overlap. This isn't really a problem, but I personally prefer solid-color grid lines.

Should be fixed now. Walrus img has been redone and uploaded.
