Authomatically convert sprite images in texture atlases

Is there a way outside there to convert a bunch of sprite images already running in a cocos2d game to an atlas. Searching for a way to do it authomatically without touching the existing source code.

You can check out an application called Texture Packer. With it you can create sprite sheets (another word for atlas really) and in code you can use

CCSprite* sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"image_name"];

rather than

CCSprite* sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"image.png"];

Before you create sprites, you'll need to add the sprite sheet's plist file from Texture Packer:

[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:@"sheet.plist"];

I hope this helped.
