Subject: Re: Mapping and screenshots
I've uploaded a little utility I wrote to stitch together
screenshots. Given a directory of PNG images and a text file
describing them it will generate one large image. There's a simple
example in the ZIP along with an example
of the JSW map:
<http://downloads.bigredswitch.co.uk/makemap.zip>
It's a command line tool and requires Java 1.4 or newer. It uses
Java's ImageIO so *should* be able to read in PNG, BMP (Windows
only, AFAIK), JPEG and probably others... but is currently hardcoded
for PNGs. If anyone does find it useful but wouldlike to use the
other image formats, just ask. The generated file is a 24-bit PNG
image.
