Is there a way to stack images side by side with imagemagick?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I'm writing a little program in C/C++ to convert gifs to a single image, where the frames are consecutive in a single image. Unfortunately, I am running out of free time, and I want to use the program sooner than I might be done with it. So I am wondering, is this functionality existent in imagemagick?



Can I take a set of images and convert them to one image? Not like an animated gif, but like a series of frames within one image.

    The relevant imagemagick tool would be montage I think

  • I'll check it out, I just came across append, which stacks the images vertically.

  • montage almost works, but after 12 images, it starts a new line. I need to keep all the frames on one line. how do I do that?

ok i figured it out.
you can do this:
$convert a.gif a.png
this will give you a series of images a-1.png, a-2.png, a-n.png .... and so on.
then, you can do this:
convert +append a-*.png out.png



This will give you a horizontal sprite sheet instead of a vertical one, in out.png. A single line of code my be possible, I have like 0 extra time to figure it out though.
