Icon Collector Graphics Editor: Montage Tool





Summary: The 'Montage' tool opens a bitmap file and parses the bitmap into one or more icon images.  The icon images must exist in the bitmap as a vertical or horizontal strip of images.  All images in the bitmap must be the same size.  You can give the program a hint if it parses the bitmap incorrectly by telling it the width or height of the images contained in the bitmap.  Your hint does not have to be exact.

This tool is also able to construct a single bitmap from the icons of an image set and then save that image to a file.  All icons in the image set must be of the same size and number of colors.  You can specify whether the bitmap saves the icons in horizontal or vertical strips.
Requirements: Requires 'Icon Collector Graphics Editor' version 4.10.
Example:
A good example  would be an MFC toolbar resource, in which all icons are laid out as a row of images:

This bitmap would be opened as a new image set containing 12 distinct icon images.
