Interesting problem - what exactly would an "aggregate" image be? The relevant parts side by side, one below the other, as separate layers in a combined image? If the latter, what "mode" would you use to combine them - blend/burn/multiply/as a mask - and what opacities? Should they be scaled to the same size before combining or not? Doesn't really fit with the usual map:aggregate/map:part without a ton of extra info as to how it should be done. OTOH, something like the include transformer might work better - an input document describing how the images should be combined, with :include elements specifying the various other input sources. But then you need a pipeline that handles both XML and image data... Sounds like fun ;-) Regards, Andy -- http://pseudoq.sourceforge.net/
