[SLUG] Re: looking for a command to composite sequentially numbered files

Hi Richard, Alex and all.

Okay. I've moved two primary images:


02729.png  02730.png

into a folder with the frame image:

bubbles.png

So now I have:

02729.png
02730.png
bubbles.png

If I try:

for i in `seq 1 999`;do echo j=`printf %04d $i`;echo composite -compose atop bubbles.png 0*.pngimage$j.png; done | head


I get:

j=0001

composite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image.png

j=0002

composite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image.png

j=0003

composite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image.png

j=0004

composite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image.png

j=0005

composite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image.png


BUT no composite images???

If I try:

seq 1 999 | xargs -n1 -t -i composite -composeatop bubbles.png 0*.png image$(printf '%04d' {}).png


I get 'top' showing composite at 17-25% and:

bash: printf: {}: invalid number

composite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.pngcomposite -compose atop bubbles.png 02729.png02730.png image0000.png

...


that just runs and runs...and runs.

Starting with two 500k files, it creates one filecalled 'image0000.png' which is 1.4MB and has aversion of what I'm looking for (though with atranslucent frame instead of a opaque frame).

Both of these commands I have copied directly fromthe relevant e-mails.

I can run composite on a single file and it worksfine...

Could someone please hit me with a clue stick?(RIP Ian Drury)

Patrick

works here
for i in `seq 1 999`;do echo j=`printf %04d $i`; echo composite -compose
atop bubbles.png 0*.png image$j.png; done | head
j=0001
composite -compose atop bubbles.png 0*.png image0067.png
j=0002
composite -compos

or:
    seq 1 999 | xargs -n1 -i composite -compose atop bubbles.png 0*.png 
image$(printf '%04d' {}).png
The -t option to xargs will give you a verbose option
