Can you clarify some points? How do you plan on arranging the images in the sprite file? How will you keep track of the positions?
The simplest way I know is to sequentially append the files into one long image. convert image1 image2 -background black +append result convert result image3 -background black +append result etc. This will append the images side by side and if the images are not the same size, then will fill with black in this case. The height of the result image will always be the height of the tallest image. >For a web site I have a tool that combines and compresses CSS files >into a single file.
