Image construction

Post by Vennis »

Hello,

I'm working where I need to construct a .png file (100.000*32 pixels) out of a number of small icons and pictures. I need to construct such an image once every few seconds. Sometimes the icons overlap. The construction itself changes all the time. The icons need to support transparency. The icons are not always 32 pixels high.

I would like to know whether ImageMagick is the tool to do this kind of jobs? If not, can anyone suggest me a better tool?

Regards from Henk in the Netherlands

Yes, IM could do that, and may be the best tool. For example, this will read all the GIF file in the current directory, resize each to 32x32 and append them side-by-side:

Code: Select all

convert *.gif -resize 32x32! +append out.png
