How to combine .png files side by side

The package montage can be used to combine png files side by side.

Orignally, I want to combine .eps files together. But, I couldn't do it directly. But, there is way to combine .png files as follow.

Suppose, we have two .png files

montage Figure*.png -tile 2x1 -geometry +0+0 combinedFigure.png

Then, you can use "convert" to convert form .png to .eps as follow.

convert combinedFigure.png combinedFigure.eps

This is how I got the work done. The final output file in .eps is not as clear as I expected. But for now, it is suffice. If I come to know more about this, I will update this post.

Viewing .jpg, .eps, .tif and .pdf files in Linux terminal

I mostly use .jpg, .eps, .tiff and .pdf formats for scientific publishing.

To open these files in Linux (Ubuntu)

For JPG files
eof fileName.jpg

For TIF files
eog fileName.tif

For .PNG files
eog fileName.png

For PDF files
evince fileName.pdf

For EPS files

Converting files ( to .eps or pdf) format

For scientific publications, figures are often asked in .eps format.

To do this (from formats like .tif/.jpg/.png), in linux, the package "convert" can be used.

Try this for a file name Figure1.tif

convert Figure1.tif Figure1.eps

This will produce a Figure1.eps file in the current directory.


Some times, you may want to convert a text file (like code) which is written using vim/emacs editor.

This can be done using LibreOffice (a open source) application.

In terminal, 

libreoffice --convert-to "pdf" fileName.txt

The output will be filename.pdf 

Or, open the file in LibreOffice and save as pdf.


If all these doesn't work, some times, I use following online site to convert to eps.

In this site, you can specify dpi and many attributes of the output file.
