Tile or montage in MagickWand

[rpatelob]

Hello snibgo, could you help me with MagickMontageImage?

Code: Select all

convert tileC.jpg -write mpr:tile -size 1200x874 tile:mpr:tile tileCmpr.jpg

I have this command, it takes 8x8 source image and generate a tile image.

For that I wrote below code. But it takes too much time. I get the expected image but code is not well written. Could you please give me suggestion in it?

Code: Select all

  
temp_wend = CloneMagickWand(wandG4);
for (size_t i = 0; i <= 20000; i++) {
      MagickReadImage(temp_wend, "tileC.jpg");
      MagickSetLastIterator(temp_wend);
}
wandG5 = MagickMontageImage(temp_wend, dw, "150x110+0+0", "8x8+0+0",UndefinedMode,"0x0+0+0");
MagickWriteImage(wandG5, "tileP11.jpg");

As this is a new question, I have started a new thread for it.

You are reading the same file 20,000 times. If you really want 20,000 images, cloning will be faster than reading files. (I don't use Wand, but MagickAddImage() seems useful.)

I assume tileC.jpg is 8x8 pixels. So perhaps using NULL for thumbnail_geometry will be faster.

Also, perhaps using NULL for frame will be faster.

But I don't understand why you want 20,000 images, montaged together. Can't you simply read "tile:tileC.jpg"?

Source Image(8x8)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-HZjm ... sp=sharing
Final Image
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-HZjm ... sp=sharing

Check above two links, I have provided the images. I have a source image of 8x8 and I want the final result like second image. So I read source image multiple time and create a tile image. And as you have mentioned that simply create a tile image using "tile:tileC.jpg", you means MagickReadImage(wand, "tile:tileC.jpg"); this way?

Try MagickTextureImage:

% MagickTextureImage() repeatedly tiles the texture image across and down the
% image canvas.
%
% The format of the MagickTextureImage method is:
%
% MagickWand *MagickTextureImage(MagickWand *wand,
% const MagickWand *texture_wand)
%
% A description of each parameter follows:
%
% o wand: the magick wand.
%
% o texture_wand: the texture wand

I haven't tried it but it seems to do what you want. texture_wand will be tileC.jpg and wand will be a blank canvas of the required size.

Got it working with this code:

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <wand/magick_wand.h>

void test_wand(void)
{
	MagickWand *wand, *texture_wand, *output_wand;

	MagickWandGenesis();

	wand = NewMagickWand();
	MagickSetSize(wand,1200,874);
	MagickReadImage(wand,"xc:white");

	texture_wand = NewMagickWand();
	MagickReadImage(texture_wand, "tileC.jpg");

	output_wand = MagickTextureImage(wand,texture_wand);
	if(output_wand == NULL) {
		MessageBox(NULL,"MagickTextureImage returned NULL!","",MB_OK);
		wand = DestroyMagickWand(wand);
		texture_wand = DestroyMagickWand(texture_wand);
		MagickWandTerminus();
		return;
	}

	MagickWriteImage(output_wand,"tileP11.jpg");

	/* Clean up */
	DestroyMagickWand(wand);
	DestroyMagickWand(texture_wand);
	DestroyMagickWand(output_wand);
	MagickWandTerminus();

}

A couple of notes:
- the tile doesn't fit exactly in 1200x874.
- I specifically test that MagickTextureImage returns a valid pointer. I first tried this without "MagickReadImage(wand,"xc:white");" and it returned NULL. Don't know why that makes a difference.

P.S. I compiled the example with ImageMagick 6.9.7-10 Q16 x64.

This is working for me. Thank you el_supremo.
