    is there a way to force a square sprite atlas short of adding dummy data to pad it out? a rectangular sprite atlas causes problems with some specific shader trickery.

    ended up adding a 257x257 pink dummy square, but there must be a better way.

    Hi, certain texture formats require/enforce power of 2 sized textures. Other than that there are no option to force that right now. We will take a look into considering this as an option.
    You may want to try adding both 1 x N and a N x 1 sized sprite to Atlas to minimize wasted space and to ensure you get N size square atlas if all sprites can fit into that. Thanks
