## Nirvana2D Sprite Editor

The sprite editor allows you to edit sprite definitions used to create sprites in the stage editor. A definition can have animations and the collider shapes uses in physics simulations.

At the far left of the screen there are 2 buttons:

- Load Sprite - Loads a sprite sheet into the definition list.
  - NOTE: This will also load any existing animation and collision data for the sheet as well.
- Delete Sprite - Removes a sprite definition from the editor.
  - NOTE: This will remove any sprites in the stage that use this definition.

At the top of the Sprite Editor is a text field labeled "Sprite ID" where you can change the name of the Sprite. To the right of the Sprite ID field, the dimensions of the sprite frame are shown.
