QRSS VD Image Assembler
This minimal Python script will convert a directory filled with tiny image captures such as this into gorgeous montages as seen below! I whipped-up this script tonight because I wanted to assess the regularity of my transmitter's embarrassing drift. I hope you find it useful.

# QRSS VD Image Assembler
This minimal Python script will convert a directory filled with tiny image captures such as [this](http://www.swharden.com/blog/images/mass-W1BW_2jpg.jpg) into gorgeous montages as seen below! I whipped-up this script tonight because I wanted to assess the regularity of my transmitter's embarrassing drift. I hope you find it useful.
<div class="text-center img-border">
[](assembled-squished.jpg)
</div>
```python
import os
from PIL import Image
x1,y1,x2,y2=[0,0,800,534] #crop from (x,y) 0,0 to 800x534
squish=10 #how much to squish it horizontally
### LOAD LIST OF FILES ###
workwith=[]
for fname in os.listdir('./'):
if ".jpg" in fname and not "assembled" in fname:
workwith.append(fname)
workwith.sort()
### MAKE NEW IMAGE ###
im=Image.new("RGB",(x2*len(workwith),y2))
for i in range(len(workwith)):
print "Loading",workwith[i]
im2=Image.open(workwith[i])
im2=im2.crop((x1,y1,x2,y2))
im.paste(im2,(i*x2,0))

print "saving SQUISHED image"
im=im.resize((im.size[0]/10,im.size[1]),Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save("assembled-squished.jpg")
print "DONE"
```
__Script to download every image linked to from a webpage__:
```python
import urllib2
import os
suckFrom="http://w1bw.org/grabber/archive/2010-06-08/"
f=urllib2.urlopen(suckFrom)
s=f.read().split("'")
f.close()
download=[]
for line in s:
if ".jpg" in line and not line in download and not "thumb" in line:
download.append(line)
for url in download:
fname = url.split("/")[-1].replace(":","-")
if fname in os.listdir('./'):
print "I already downloaded",fname
else:
print "downloading",fname
output=open(fname,'wb')
output.write(urllib2.urlopen(url).read())
output.close()
```
