Dear Lazyweb: Looking for a tile-fitting program

[elfs]

Dear Lazyweb:

I'm looking for a tile-fitting program (or even library) that can assemble several photos of different sizes into a single, rectangular mosaic. I does not have to be (I would prefer it not to be) one of those "photomosaic" things where it transforms the pool of images into pseudopixels for a parent image; it may downsize the photographs, but must have a configurable minimum size; it may not change the ratio of the photographs, nor rotate them. Basically, I want a program that will assemble wallpaper out of a photograph collection.

Is there such a program? I've spent hours looking for such a thing without success.

The tiling algorithm is far beyond anything in the ImageMagick montage suite. Believe me, I've looked.

Because doing a 'resize' on the images and then 'convert -mosaic' the results will leave gaps if you're mixing landscape and portrait aspect photos?

Can you post some example images of what you'd like to do?
