    ```javascript
    var spritesheet = require('spritesheet-js');
    
    spritesheet('assets/*.png', {format: 'json'}, function (err) {
      if (err) throw err;

      console.log('spritesheet successfully generated');
    });
  ```
  
###Trimming / Cropping###
Spritesheet.js can remove transparent whitespace around images. Thanks to that you can pack more assets into one spritesheet and it makes rendering a little bit faster.

*NOTE: Some libraries such as Easel.js dont't support this feature.*
