Code: Select all

WxH=`magick stars.jpg -format "%wx%h" info:`
ww=`echo "$WxH" | cut -dx -f1`
hh=`echo "$WxH" | cut -dx -f2`
centx=`magick xc: -format "%[fx:round($ww/2)]" info:`
xx=$((centx))
yy=0
i=0
echo "$hh; $ww; $centx; $xx; $yy;"
magick stars.jpg result.png
while [ $xx -lt $ww -a $yy -lt $hh ]; do
echo "$xx; $yy;"
magick result.png \( cat.png +repage -resize 50% \) -gravity northwest -geometry +${xx}+${yy} -compose over -composite result.png
echo ""
i=$((i+1))
xx=`magick xc: -format "%[fx:$i%2==1?($xx-100):($xx+100)]" info:`
yy=$((yy+100))
done
magick result.png stars_cat3.jpg
rm -f result.png
