I'm trying to composite multiple images into a single stream that will be piped as a response. I'm using Node.js and GraphicsMagick for Node at https://github.com/aheckmann/gm.
If I'm compositing two images into a stream it works fine and for this example it shows two/thirds of the final composite as expected. Here is my code:
app.get('/call_2image_stream', function(req, res){
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type' : 'image/png'});
var path = (__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_right.png');
var path2 = (__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_left.png');
gm(path)
.composite(path2)
.stream('png')
.pipe(res);
})
But when I try and composite three images it doesn't fill in the bottom part of the picture correctly as intended. The code is this:
app.get('/call_3image_stream', function(req, res){
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type' : 'image/png'});
var path = (__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_bottom.png');
var path2 = (__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_right.png');
var path3 = (__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_left.png');
gm(path)
.composite(path2)
.composite(path3)
.stream('png')
.pipe(res);
})
Figured out a great answer write here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20611669/4447761 Shout out to Ryan Wu!
Here is my final code
app.get('/final_code', function(req, res){
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type' : 'image/png'});
gm()
.in('-page', '+0+0')
.in(__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_right.png')
.in('-page', '+0+0')
.in(__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_left.png')
.in('-page', '+0+0')
.in(__dirname + '/test_folder/happy_bottom.png')
.mosaic()
.stream('png')
.pipe(res);
})
