Wrong height with -tile option in Montage

[kao]

Hello,

I think, I encountered a bug with Montage.
I use 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16 on a Debian "testing" system.

I want to build a tile set of 24 images.
Each image has the same properties

Code: Select all

identify boat_01_01.png 
boat_01_01.png PNG 128x128 128x128+0+0 8-bit sRGB 7.89KB 0.000u 0:00.000

I build a 8 by 8 tile set with this command :

Code: Select all

montage boat*.png  -tile 8x8 -background none tilset_01.png

Next I read the properties of the output :

Code: Select all

identify tilset_01.png 
tilset_01.png PNG 1024x1008 1024x1008+0+0 16-bit sRGB 403KB 0.000u 0:00.000

Height should be 1024 like the width (128x8 = 1024), instead I have got 1008 like if the images were 126 px high (1008/8 = 126)

In this case, images have been resized. But It shouldn't be.
I used Gimp to see the difference between the originals and the output.

To get a proper montage I use the geometry option to get the proper height

Code: Select all

montage boat*.png  -tile 8x8 -geometry 128x128 -background none tilset_02.png
identify tilset_02.png 
tilset_02.png PNG 1024x1024 1024x1024+0+0 8-bit sRGB 162KB 0.000u 0:00.000

I this case, images have not been resized.
This is the correct behavior we should expect.

Kind regards
Kao

try adding the offsets to -geometry. You do not need the image size.

Code: Select all

montage boat*.png  -tile 8x8 -geometry +0+0 -background none tilset_02.png

@fmw42
Your command works well, images are not resize.

It's even better, I get only 3 rows (24 boats images/8), instead of 8 with 5 empty.
h = (24/8)*128 = 384;

Code: Select all

identify tilset_02.png 
tilset_02.png PNG 1024x384 1024x384+0+0 8-bit sRGB 159KB 0.000u 0:00.000

Thanks
