Hi,

I'm trying to combine a number of images with equal dimensions into a single image by concatenating them without border or any decorations. However, sometimes I need to leave some of the tiles blank. I've tried this command line, but it seems to behave oddly (and contrary to documentation):

Code: Select all

montage -mode concatenate -tile 2x2 rose: rose: null: rose: im_example.png

I expected an image with 3 roses and a white field in the bottom left. however, I get this:



Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks for your help,
Seb

It seems to work this way:
but oddly, if you leave off the WxH, I get your same result
I suspect that without the WxH, montage does not know what size to make null: and so skips it.


Also if you leave off the geometry, it works fine, but you get lots of white space

Yes, those are my exact results. The problem is that I don't necessarily know the geometry of the individual images, only that they are the same. I guess I could query that information and then use it in my script, but according to my understanding of the docs I thought it should work. Hence my post here.
