You can follow this tutorial to compose a print page with 2 pictures placed vertically using GD Library functions.
1. Here is the PHP script, GD-2-To-1-Page.php:
<?php # GD-2-To-1-Page.php #- Copyright (c) HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. $resolution = 300; $margin = intval(0.5*$resolution); $page_width = intval(8.5*$resolution); $page_height = intval(11.0*$resolution); if (count($argv)<3) { print("Usage: php GD-2-To-1-Page input1 input2.\n"); exit; } $pic1 = imagecreatefrompng($argv[1]); $pic2 = imagecreatefrompng($argv[2]); $page = imagecreatetruecolor($page_width,$page_height); $white = imagecolorallocate($page, 255,255,255); imagefill($page, 0,0, $white); $width = $page_width - 2*$margin; $height = intval($page_height/2 - 1.5*$margin); $center_x = intval($width/2) + $margin; $center_y = intval($height/2) + $margin; post_on_page($page, $pic1, $center_x, $center_y, $width, $height); $width = $page_width - 2*$margin; $height = intval($page_height/2 - 1.5*$margin); $center_x = intval($width/2) + $margin; $center_y = intval($height/2) + $margin + $height + $margin; post_on_page($page, $pic2, $center_x, $center_y, $width, $height); $file = "GD-Page.png"; imagepng($page, $file); print("Page saved:\n"); print(" File: $file\n"); function post_on_page($page, $pic, $center_x, $center_y, $width, $height) { $w = imagesx($pic); $h = imagesy($pic); $ratio = min($width/$w,$height/$h); if ($ratio<1.0) { $w = intval($ratio*$w); $pic = imagescale($pic,$w); $h = imagesy($pic); } $off_x = $center_x - intval($w/2); $off_y = $center_y - intval($h/2); imagecopy($page,$pic, $off_x,$off_y, 0,0, $w,$h); $black = imagecolorallocate($page, 0,0,0); imagerectangle($page,$off_x-1,$off_y-1, $off_x+$w+1,$off_y+$h+1, $black); } ?>
Run it with 2 sample pictures:
php GD-2-To-1-Page.php sample1.png sample2.png Page saved: File: GD-Page.png
Note that the script is using a resolution of 300 DPI. Your picture should have more than 300*8=2400 pixel in one direction to fill the page. In other words, the camera should take about 2400*2400=5,760,000 or 6M pixels.
