A bash script to square a tall image of a long text column?
Ever seen a print of a long discussion thread? Looks like the picture of a skyscraper… with only the building in it! So what I generally do — manually! — is break up the image into segments, and stack them side by side using imagemagick:
for f in "$@"
do
h=($(sips -g pixelHeight "$f" | grep -o '[0-9]*$'))
if [[ $h -gt $height ]]; then
height=$h
fi
done
/usr/local/bin/convert +append "$@" -geometry x$height ~/Desktop/Hcombined.png
How can I extend it to do the whole thing on its own?
bash shell-script imagemagick image-manipulation
