Montafons

Python library to generate an image collage from other images. I mainly use it to generate horizontal wallpapers from multiple vertical images, but feel free to use it for any other purpuse. It is optimized for speed by using multiple threads to render images in paralel.

}

mf = Montafons(**params)

for image in example_images:
    mf.add(image)

mf.make("output.png")
