`rx` is a modern and minimalist pixel editor.

Designed with great care and love with pixel artists and animators in mind.

OVERVIEW

rx is an extensible, modern and minimalist pixel editor implemented in rust0. rx is free software, licensed under the GPLv3.

Most of the information on how to use rx is on the website: https://rx.cloudhead.io. There, you can also find a user guide (https://rx.cloudhead.io/guide.html), installation instructions, and binary download links.

To build rx from source, see the build sections bellow.

Once inside rx, enter the :help command to get a list of key bindings and commands.

REQUIREMENTS

On Linux and Windows, Vulkan0 is currently required, with a compatible graphics adapter.

On macOS, Metal1 is required.

BUILD DEPENDENCIES

• rust (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
• cmake (https://cmake.org/download/)

On macOS, Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools are required. The latter can be obtained by running xcode-select --install CMake can be installed with brew install cmake.

BUILD & INSTALLATION

Before proceeding, make sure the BUILD DEPENDENCIES have been installed.

Then, clone this repository and from its root, run:

$ cargo install --locked --path .

This will install rx under ~/.cargo/bin/rx. If you prefer a different install location, you can specify it via the --root <prefix> flag, where is for example '/usr/local'.

CONTRIBUTING

See the CONTRIBUTING file for details. Contributions are appreciated.

USAGE

See the guide at https://rx.cloudhead.io/guide.html.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If something isn't working like it's supposed to, there are various things you can do to debug the problem:

• Run rx with verbose logging, by using the -v command-line flag. This will log errors from the underlying libraries that are usually suppressed, and will show debug output that might indicate what the problem is.

• If rx is crashing, run it with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 set in your environment to show a backtrace on crash.

• It could be that the issue is related to your configuration - in that case the program can be run without loading the initialization script like so:

  rx -u -
