Here's an ImageAppend() function for you. Pass it two image paths, and the 3rd Boolean flag is TRUE (default) to stack images on top of each other, or FALSE to have them side by side. It returns an image object which you can save, or write to the browser with <cfimage action="writetobrowser">.

ImageRead() and ImagePaste() to paste first image, then another ImageNew() and ImagePaste() setting the x and y so that it is where you want it relative to first image. Or just take all of that and make a ImageAppend() function that dos it for you. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Baughman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 2:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFIMAGE- stacking images Hello all, I keep trying to find ways to use CFIMAGE but almost every time am forced to use another tool... Is there any way to append images? IE I have one image, a photo, that I want to append a polaroid-like bottom to. It seems this is outside the functionality of the CFIMAGE tag. Or am I missing something? - Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:297673 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
