This simple utility takes a "spritesheet" of possible repeating background tiles, and allows you to scroll through them (using the mouse or spacebar), previewing what each of them look like when displayed as a tiled background.

It also shows information indicating the tile in the spritesheet you're looking at.

Example render, previewing a tile from the "Grasses32x32_resized128x128.png" file (it looks blocky because the textures in that png file are meant to have an 8-bit feel. Your textures may be very different):

There are two constructors:

Constructor:
BackgroundTilePreviewer(std::string file_addr, int x_tile_size, int y_tile_size);

x_ and y_tile_size are the width and height (respectively) of the individual tiles you want returned, in pixels.

Example:
BackgroundTilePreviewer preview("tileGrasses128x128.png", 128, 128);

Constructor:
BackgroundTilePreviewer(std::string file_addr, int x_tile_size, int y_tile_size, int x_offset, int y_offset, int x_offset_between, int y_offset_between);

x_ and y_offset are the left and top margins (in pixels) respectively. x_ and y_offset_between are the spacing between the different tiles (in pixels).

Example:
BackgroundTilePreviewer preview("Grasses32x32_resized128x128.png", 128, 128, 4, 4, 12, 12);

Please feel free to use, but do not pass it off as your own.
