Hi Methyl,

I had a lead one how to do this so I asked another question in the newbie area about the MV command and I was very graciously helped by Corona. I will post the solution here for future reference.

pnmmontage(1)						      General Commands Manual						     pnmmontage(1)

NAME

       pnmmontage - create a montage of portable anymaps

SYNOPSIS

       pnmmontage [-?|-help] [-header=headerfile] [-quality=n] [-prefix=prefix] [-0|-1|-2|...|-9] pnmfile...

DESCRIPTION

       Packs  images of differing sizes into a minimum-area composite image, optionally producing a C header file with the locations of the subim-
       ages within the composite image.

OPTIONS

       -?, -help
	      Displays a (very) short usage message.

       -header
	      Tells pnmmontage to write a C header file of the locations of the original images within the packed image.  Each original image gen-
	      erates  four  #defines  within  the packed file: xxxX, xxxY, xxxSZX, and xxxSZY, where xxx is the name of the file, converted to all
	      uppercase.  The #defines OVERALLX and OVERALLY are also produced, specifying the total size of the montage image.

       -prefix
	      Tells pnmmontage to use the specified prefix on all of the #defines it generates.

       -quality
	      Before attempting to place the subimages, pnmmontage will calculate a minimum possible area for the  montage;  this  is  either  the
	      total  of the areas of all the subimages, or the width of the widest subimage times the height of the tallest subimage, whichever is
	      greater.	pnmmontage then initiates a problem-space search to find the best packing; if it finds a solution that is  (at	least)	as
	      good  as the minimum area times the quality as a percent, it will break out of the search.  Thus, -q 100 will find the best possible
	      solution; however, it may take a very long time to do so.  The default is -q 200.

       -0, -1, ... -9
	      These options control the quality at a higher level than -q; -0 is the worst quality (literally  pick  the  first  solution  found),
	      while  -9 is the best quality (perform an exhaustive search of problem space for the absolute best packing).  The higher the number,
	      the slower the computation.  The default is -5.

NOTES

       Using -9 is excessively slow on all but the smallest image sets.  If the anymaps differ in maxvals, then pnmmontage will pick the  smallest
       maxval which is evenly divisible by each of the maxvals of the original images.
