GMosaic

This is a very simple application which creates a mosaic from images found on google. It was developed for pure fun in one day. It probably won't be maintained, the bugs won't be fixed and features won't be added. So please think twice before downloading and using it. You've been warned.

It works like this. You select some image, then specify a google search string, how many horizontal and vertical tiles your mosaic should have and then you click Build. GMosaic will search and cache all the images it could find on google. Then it will build an image which is based on the image you specified but which is composed from all those google images it found and/or previously cached ones.

Example of a mosaic for this image:

is this:

Here is large version 600Kb and very large version 3.5Mb

The application can be downloaded from here:

• for Windows: gmosaic.exe (~1.3Mb)
• for any Java-enabled platform: gmosaic-Generic.zip (~1.3Mb)
• for Mac (Java 1.5+ is required): gmosaic-Mac.zip (~1.3Mb)

Note that you need to have Java 1.5+ already installed on your computer.

I used the following tools developing GMosaic: wonderfull IntelliJ IDEA and absolutely the best installer for Java applications BuildDesk!

Complete sources along with IntelliJ IDEA project can be downloaded from here: gmosaic-src.zip. This project is used for tutorial for BuildDesk.
