Add support for atlas-type images on lua rendering scripts

[ilodev]

This would help aliviating the need of uploading multiple images when you just want a set of icons for your screens.

 

Following the current image adding function, we could reuse the current one just adding extra args at the end that when ignored, they will use the full image size

addAtlasImage(layer, image, x, y, width, height, atlasx, atlasy, atlasw, atlash)

 

Or just make it a new API to get the atlas image from the loaded image

 

img = loadImage(path) 
icon1 = loadIcon(img, x, y, width, height)
-- then use like normal image 
addImage(layer, icon1, x, y, width, height)

 

anything from screen button images, cockpit shapes, decoration or warning signals, org logos  etc could then be uploaded on a single image and reused as required. The process of validating the images would still be same
