Image Combiner Action

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The Image Combiner action in 'Dynamic Graphic' action group combine images by superimposing them one above the other.

Is there any way to combine two images side-by-side.

If I want to have two Dial Gauges side-by-side in same image.

Thank You

The ImageCombiner does not superimpose them on the same location - you're probably using it incorrectly. To place an image at a specific location, you need to set the X and Y parameters for the ImageCombiner action.

To place multiple images on a common "canvas", use the ImageCreator to create a "blank" image of the desired size, then use the ImageCombiner to overlay the "child" images in the desired location(s).

Hi Rick,

Image Combiner overlays two images, so if I have two SVG object images to be combined, one of them will be child which will shadow some part of parent image.

Since child image can have coordinates only within parent image size limits, we can't avoid child image position to be outside of parent image.

If I use blank image (Background with Image Creator action) as parent then the child image is only the possible SVG object I will be left with to view. Instead I need both images to give me data in graphical format (i.e. SVG Object)

My requirement is that to have two gauges side-by-side. Is there any possible way of combining them like that? Or else I will have to take two images on HTML page to show the combination.

ImageCreator is the canvas (wide enough for 2 pictures like 500)

ImageCombiner1 (combines blank cavas with first image)

- EncodedImageInput1 = ImageCreator

- EncodedImageInput2 = left chart @ 0 x 0

ImageCombiner2 (combines results of the first combiner with second chart)

- EncodedImageInput1 = ImageCombiner1

- EncodedImageInput2 = right chart @ 250 x 0

You'll see the output of the first image combiner is then used as the next 'canvas' for tiling onto it the second image.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you very much. I am getting the required output by using two image combiners.

and can get several objects in single image.

Thank You.
