> Tight 2D packing of images into a sprite with a corresponding CSS.

## Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.1`

If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install grunt-tight-sprite --save-dev
```

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tight-sprite');
```

## The "tight_sprite" task

### Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named `tight_sprite` to the data object passed into `grunt.initConfig()`.

```js
var iconPath = "tests/icons/";
grunt.initConfig({
tight_sprite: {
// describe my sprite #1
my_sprite1: {
options: {
classPrefix: "",
silent: true,
hide: iconPath
},
src: [iconPath + "*/**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif}"],
dest: iconPath + "sprite1.png"
}
}
});
```
