BLS Image Stitcher

Helper script to vertically stitch together standings sheet images produced by BLS.

The script is written as a Windows batch file. With the help of ImageMagick, the script takes a series of images (e.g. standings sheets) exported by BLS and produces a single image of those images stitched vertically. The single image can then be displayed on the web.

The script performs the following:

• Stitches (appends) the images vertically into a single image
• Deletes the original images after completion
