polymer-bond - Create sprite images defined in your .polymer file
polymer bond [--force] [--fast] [--config=POLYMER_CONFIG]
Generate the sprites defined in your polymer(5) file. After each sprite is generated, the sprites are optimised using whichever available PNG optimisers you have installed (PNGOUT, OptiPNG, and PNGCrush) in order to reduce the filesize as much as possible.
Sass and CSS is then generated according to the settings defined in your polymer(5) configuration.
Polymer keeps track of the contents of each sprite with a
.polymer-cache file so that subsequent runs of polymer bond will
only re-generate (and re-optimise) those sprites whose sources have
changed. See the POLYMER CACHE section -- below -- for more
information.
--forceSomething something something dark side: re-generate sprites even if the sources have not changed since last time.
--fastSkips optimisation of generated sprites. Useful when you want to quickly preview changes without waiting for the optimisers to run.
--config=<path>In order to perform some tasks -- such as generating sprites -- Polymer
needs to locate your .polymer project file. The default behaviour is
to look for one in the current working directory, and to keep
ascending the directory structure until it finds one.
To disable this behaviour, you may supply a path to the config file by
using the --config option.
Since optimising sprites can be a lengthy process (very large sprites
may take minutes), Polymer keeps track of the contents of each sprite
with a .polymer-cache file.
Polymer will re-generate an existing sprite in the following cases:
