Create a tiled image with ImageMagick on Linux.


Creating a tiled image on Linux with the command line is very easy to do. This command will take the pyramid.bmp file and tile it as a 3440×1440 widescreen image.

┌─[jason@jason-desktop][~/Pictures/Windows/bitmaps]
└──╼ $convert -size 3440x1440 tile:pyramid.bmp Tiles.jpg

This example will create a massive 7680×2160 pixel image.

┌─[jason@jason-desktop][~/Pictures/Windows/bitmaps]
└──╼ $convert -size 7680x2160 tile:snakeskn.bmp snakeskin.jpg

This is very easy. A good way to create a larger image from a small tileable image.

This example is how to create a montage of a few small images in one large picture.

┌─[jason@jason-desktop][~/Pictures/Windows/bitmaps]
└──╼ $montage -border 0 -geometry 660x -tile 9x6 *.bmp final.jpg

This shows how easy it is to create a simple image with the command line and simple utilities.

A very nice tiled image I created.

The above image is a nice one I created from the Windows wallpaper images.
