Merge of graphics in graphic

Post by Mitchell Coh » Thu, 08 May 1997 04:00:00



I am interested in performing what would be analagous to mailmerge
with graphics.  That is, I want to have a graphic with an open area.
I want to create many pictures by taking the original graphic and putting
different graphics into the open area.  This is similar to mailmerging
the same later personalized to different people, but with graphics
instead of text.

Does anyone know what software packages have that capability?  Any
recommendations?

Thanks,
Mitch

It's one of the features of the proposed MNG format.  See Example 4 in
the proposed spec, ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/mng/documents/
