Hi, I am building maps by collating minimaps downloaded from the site of mapa. I am using the convert and montage programs from imageMagick, within the following script (bbigmap)
#!/bin/sh case $# in 0)echo "Use: $0 number_of_cols_of_minimaps file_with_list_of_minimaps output_file crop/nocrop additional_options";; 1)echo "Use: $0 number_of_cols_of_minimaps file_with_list_of_minimaps output_file crop/nocrop additional_options";; 2)echo "Use: $0 number_of_cols_of_minimaps file_with_list_of_minimaps output_file crop/nocrop additional_options";; 3)echo "Use: $0 number_of_cols_of_minimaps file_with_list_of_minimaps output_file crop/nocrop additional_options";; *) Z1=$1 Z2=$2; Z3=$3; rm -f _AAA_* [[ $4="crop" ]] && Z4=$4; shift 4; case $Z4 in crop) for i in `cat $Z2`; do u=_AAA_`basename $i`; convert $i -stroke blue -linewidth 1 -draw "line 0,0,0,20" -draw "line 300,280,300,300" -draw "line 0,280,0,300" -draw "line 300,0,300,20" -draw "line 0,0,20,0" -draw "line 280,300,300,300" -draw "line 0,300,20,300" -draw "line 280,0,300,0" -crop 301x301+0+0 $u; done; montage +shadow +label -tile $Z1 -geometry +0+0 _AAA_* $* $Z3; rm -f _AAA_*;; *) for i in `cat $Z2`; do u=_AAA_`basename $i`; convert $i -stroke blue -linewidth 1 -draw "line 0,0,0,20" -draw "line 255,235,255,255" -draw "line 0,235,0,255" -draw "line 255,0,255,20" -draw "line 0,0,20,0" -draw "line 235,255,255,255" -draw "line 0,255,20,255" -draw "line 235,0,255,0" $u; done; montage +shadow +label -tile $Z1 -geometry +0+0 _AAA_* $* $Z3; rm -f _AAA_*;; esac;; esac # The format of the file list (example coh5-Home_877-884x381-385) is: 877-381_625.jpg 877-382_625.jpg 877-383_625.jpg 877-384_625.jpg 877-385_625.jpg 878-381_625.jpg 878-382_625.jpg 878-383_625.jpg 878-384_625.jpg 878-385_625.jpg 879-381_625.jpg 879-382_625.jpg 879-383_625.jpg 879-384_625.jpg 879-385_625.jpg 880-381_625.jpg 880-382_625.jpg 880-383_625.jpg 880-384_625.jpg 880-385_625.jpg 881-381_625.jpg 881-382_625.jpg 881-383_625.jpg 881-384_625.jpg 881-385_625.jpg 882-381_625.jpg 882-382_625.jpg 882-383_625.jpg 882-384_625.jpg 882-385_625.jpg 883-381_625.jpg 883-382_625.jpg 883-383_625.jpg 883-384_625.jpg 883-385_625.jpg 884-381_625.jpg 884-382_625.jpg 884-383_625.jpg 884-384_625.jpg 884-385_625.jpg The files are real or symbolic links to binary jpgs. The first figure represents the North-South, and the second one, the West-East coordinates of the minimap. The command used is of the form: bbigmap 5 coh5-Home_877-884x381-385 /tmp/a.jpg nocrop Today I annotated four of the minimaps and named them a$OLDNAME (example: a879-381_625.jpg). To my surprize, the four annotated maps were not placed by the script at the same locations as the unmodified versions, following their locations in the file. They appeared, instead in the South-East corner of the map. This did not happen when, instead prepending the a, I appended it to the 625 (example: 879-381_625a.jpg). Obviously the program disregards the placing of the minimaps -sorts them, instead. Is that normal behaviour ? Or caused, in some way which I do not realize by the way I built the script and the filelist ?
