SOLVED - How to create a top border only?

Post by teracow »

Hello,

using: ImageMagick 6.8.9-8 Q16 x86_64 2016-05-05
on: OpenSUSE 13.2 64b

Is there a way to use montage or convert to add a border to my (thumbnail gallery of images) image but only on the top edge? I haven't been able to figure out how to do this on only one side of the resulting image. The examples (and my testing) all indicate that a border will be placed on opposite sides at the same time.

Try something using "-splice" like this...

Code: Select all
