Seems there are a gazillion programs to split images, but I can't find one that allows you to select a range of images and join then side by side.

I'm rendering out a sequence of frames in lightwave, but instead of turning it into a movie, I want it to take the images in a directory in numerical order and add the next image in sequence to the right of the former image. So it looks like a film strip.

I need this for another prog which eats strips like this and then shows one "frame" from this strip at a time. (sysmetrix; multistate images) Could be up to 360 images max in one strip I'd imagine.

Anyone got a prog and or URL handy?

I'm just trying to produce some content for sysmetrix.

Seems to me Blitz could probably handle this, but I'm a pixel prodder these days, not a programmer.

ProPixel Animator

it does both. :)

Glueit can do the joining if they're in bmp format.

Thanks for both guys, Job done! ;O)

GlueIt turned out to be a near perfect 10!

Did exactly the job and with a few frills added it would be the absolute best it could ever be for this particular job.

I wonder how one would go about writing such a thing?

Only thing I'd like to add would be to save the thing off as a prooject and then come back to it later during image tweaking, would be fully brilliant with that and one or two other realy minor tweaks.

Happy bunny here.

Shouldn't be too difficult to read all the image files from a directory, check their size, create an image big enough to hold them all, set imagebuffer to the created image, draw each with an offset and then savebuffer.

Sounds so easy when you put it like that. ;O)

I'm pretty sure I'd be incapable, it's been way too long and I got a head full of pixels these days!

Maybe something to tinker with, assuming I ever get 5 minutes, and you know how graphics bods are; 5 minutes is the length of a goodly holiday, if you're really lucky! Rats! ;O)

Thanks for the poitners though, it's been really, really helpful.

For future reference, I think IrfanView lets you stick a load of images together - calls it "Create Panorama Image", or something.
