I'm developing a program to accept a set of image files
and scale/transform them to a template that can
be printed out, cut and folded into an origami photo-cube/
gift box. The left and right sides have overlying flaps,
so piece of those side images would be clipped and reoriented
to fit together when folded.
I need to know what Windows library can layout images something
like this manual version;

I would suggest <a href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/">GD</a>, but it doesn't look
like there's a Euphoria wrapper for it.
(Has anyone worked on one?)
There's a <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcom">gdCOM package on
sourceforge</a>
which might be easier to interface to with Matt Lewis' EuCOM wrappers but would
still require a bit of work to get up and running.
GD can definitely do what you want, there's a good intro to GD (with PHP) at

I almost forgot, Allegro can do some basic image manipulation and there is
an Allegro wrapper for that. It is fairly 'low-level' manipulation but
you might get more mileage with that than GD.

i know of some non-Euphoria apps that can 'slice' an image, but they all do it
in squares, not at an angle like the top requires.
however, i notice that the top image can be 'sliced' in half and the images can
be folded on each other to reveal the full image.
with the apps i know about, it would be a simple matter of rearranging the image
files on a sheet of paper to be printed out.
a short time ago i asked on this forum if anyone had a 'slicing' app for
Euphoria, but there was no response.
email me if you need any help.

How about this one? (I haven't tried it.)

Hello there,
There are at least two that i know of in the archives,
Gd wrapped by "Elliot" and GdiPlus i'v wrapped.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

"Doh"
I thought I'd seen one, but couldn't find it in the archives (probably from
filtering out DOS 
Thanks

actually the left and right flaps could be
rectangular clippings. Part of it would just not be
visible because it's folded under, so it didn't get mapped
on my hand model.
additionally the the top face would be sliced
so the upper half fits below the "rear" face and
and the lower half above the "front" face.
