一、概述
CCSprite涉及到了CCTexture2D、CCSpriteFrame、CCSpriteBatchNode，因此在了解CCSprite前，肯定要先对它们进行了解。而CCTexture2D又涉及到了CCImage，所以这里先来了解CCImage，源码如下：

class CC_DLL CCImage : public CCObject
{
public:
    CCImage();
    ~CCImage();

    typedef enum
    {
        kFmtJpg = 0,kFmtPng,kFmtTiff,kFmtWebp,kFmtRawData,kFmtUnKnown
    }EImageFormat;

    typedef enum
    {
        kAlignCenter        = 0x33,///< Horizontal center and vertical center.
        kAlignTop           = 0x13,///< Horizontal center and vertical top.
        kAlignTopRight      = 0x12,///< Horizontal right and vertical top.
        kAlignRight         = 0x32,///< Horizontal right and vertical center.
        kAlignBottomRight   = 0x22,///< Horizontal right and vertical bottom.
        kAlignBottom        = 0x23,///< Horizontal center and vertical bottom.
        kAlignBottomLeft    = 0x21,///< Horizontal left and vertical bottom.
        kAlignLeft          = 0x31,///< Horizontal left and vertical center.
        kAlignTopLeft       = 0x11,///< Horizontal left and vertical top.
    }ETextAlign;

    /* @brief The same result as with initWithImageFile,but thread safe. It is caused by loadImage() in CCTextureCache.cpp. @param fullpath full path of the file. @param imageType the type of image,currently only supporting two types. @return true if loaded correctly. */

二、分析
1、首先是两个枚举类型，其中一个标记图片的格式，作为初始化方法的参数；另一个用于标记文本的对齐方式，同样是作为初始化方法的参数。
2、初始化方法则是分别为：通过绝对路径（获得路径方法待究）、图片数据（不知道什么意思）、字符串来生成图片对象。其中通过字符串来声明的话，可以设置字体、大小、对齐方式、渐变色、阴影偏移和线宽，可以说是非常丰富。
3、还有个方法，可以将图片保存到指定路径下，应该挺有用的，比如存储截图。
4、其他的方法感觉不常用或是比较晦涩，暂不细究。

三、总结 1、知道了可使用图片、字符串生成 image 对象，并可保存到指定路径下。
