Append multiple images on canvas

[Rye]

So this is some theory here.

I want to lay out some pictures I have (lets say for this example: 10 pictures that are in size of 640x1136) on a canvas.

I want them to be put side by side if I would define the canvas 6400x1136 and for example if I went ahead and used 640x1136 as canvas size it should simply
paste the pictures under each other.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

(Bonus kudos for whomever can integrade a for (*.filetype) inside the command as this would make the command easier.

"+append" will put images side by side. "-composite" will stack them on top of each other.

See:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... #composite
etc.

convert *.jpg -append result

or

convert *.jpg +append result

Depending upon whether arranged vertically or horizontally

is it possible to define a canvas for stacking ?

so it will stop and continue stacking like this:
HHHHHH
HHH

see montage

but you need to tell it how many tiles in a row (or column)

Code: Select all

montage *.jpg -tile 6x -geometry +0+0 result
