Joining lots of small images into one large image

Ruby
1

I have 40 small images that are 70 x 70 pixels and they are numbered
like 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc up to 40.jpg

I want to merge these into 1 large image strip 2800 x 70 pixels in Ruby
code but am not sure of the best approach to this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this or better still a
snippet of code?

Thanks

That’s exactly what the ‘montage’ command from ImageMagick does. As
long as
using:
images = (1…40).map{|i| “#{i}.jpg”}
system(“montage #{images.join(’ ')} +page -tile 40x1 -geometry
70x70+0+0 #{outfile}”)
counts as “Ruby code”, then you’re all set!
