PeasyGlue |
|
Update: Graphic images are sometimes distributed as PDF files, so PeasyGlue v1.9 now accepts this format for input. Also, there is a new Print button. It sends the final glued image directly to PeasyPrint v2.5. To save time, the temporary raw PNM data is used instead of the JPEG/PNG file.
Update: PeasyGlue v1.8 lets you pick the amount of spacing between images. Note: The program has now moved to /usr/local/bin/peasyglue from /usr/sbin/peasyglue. Make sure that you are running the correct version. Delete the old one if necessary.
Update: Here is a money-saving tip for people who print their own digital photos. If your camera is set at the 4:3 aspect ratio, you can glue two photos together into a 4:6 image that is the exact size for photo paper.
-------------------------------------
PeasyGlue is a little app for joining graphic files together into rows or columns. By combining several rows vertically, you can also create a grid of images.
You can select images by using the File Chooser buttons. But it's easier to just drag files directly into the PeasyGlue input boxes.
To make a shortcut, drag the file /usr/share/applications/peasyglue.desktop onto the desktop.
PeasyGlue creates some large temporary files, which are normally stored in /tmp. When working with big graphics files, you may run out of space, and gluing will fail. Here is a work-around.
1. Create the hidden file /root/.peasyglue
2. Enter the path of a location with lots of space, like /mnt/home
3. Save the file.
4. PeasyGlue will now use that temporary location instead of /tmp.

rcrsn51,
What a nice, handy, and compact image combiner. (It's very useful to me because I can never remember how to combine images using mtPaint.)
I assume the "glued" image could also be saved to a .png instead of .jpg by using "pnmtopng".
Another useful tool in the "Peasy" series, thank you.
Regards,
s

Or I guess that v1.3 could give you that choice.

Are you talking about the name of the output file? The program does NOT automatically add an extension to the filename - you need to include it yourself.

Oh, OK, I get it. Selecting jpg or png sets the file type, it does NOT append that extension. That has to be added by hand . . . . .

I'm much appreciating this new 1.6 update ...
...how could one ever be living without it...? (i'm joking of course )
Updating its french locale ... and wondering about the «Aspect» button ... does it stand for «gluing two photos together into a 4:6 image that is the exact size for photo paper» assuming the photo papers size to be "Letter" size? ( i'm ignoring what size is that paper here in Europe ...);
I've tried using this «Aspect» button after dragged two images.png (4:3 aspect ratio) in the upper fields + defined a file where to save the 4:6 image ...but nothing happened: no /tmp/gluetmp folder created nor any comment in the command line terminal ...
...Hmmm!...and ... what if there are more than two photos ... ? Does the new image also be shrinked into the Letter size?
Thanks for any answer!
Cheers, Charlie

You are right - the Aspect button is not well documented. It only works AFTER you have glued some images together.
I wrote it mainly to use with the Pattern feature. Suppose I make a pattern and want to print it on Letter paper using PeasyPrint. And I want it to fill the page.
With PeasyPrint, you can scale the width or height, but not both. It never changes the aspect ratio of the image. So if I want my pattern to fill the page without getting cropped, I need some information in advance about how to place it on the paper.
Printing images on photo paper is not a problem. I can use RPhoto and crop to the exact aspect ratio I need.
I recognize that the Aspect feature is not much value to an A4 user like yourself. Maybe I should remove the confusing Aspect button and only show that information after making a pattern.
I'm curious. In Europe is photo paper still 4x6, or do you buy a metric version?
Bill
