Equivalent of CSS grid-template-columns using Qt or GTK to produce a tiled png

I am doing basic layout in HTML/CSS that I would like to migrate to doing without a web component, using a proper GUI library to simply render PNGs of the entire layout I am rendering currently in the browser.

I have images I am tiling in CSS using the grid-template-columns function for displaying, in this case, 2 rows of 5 images:

#wrapper {

  display: grid;

  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr

}



<div>

  <div id="wrapper">

    <img src="mypng1.png">

    <img src="mypng2.png">

    ...

    <img src="mypng9.png">

    <img src="mypng10.png">

  </div>

</div>

I'm looking to translate this out of web/html/css and into a GUI layout that can render pngs natively on my (linux) machine. How would I script this in either Qt or GTK, or any similar library?

Specifically, I'm looking to control:

Number of rows and columns

An ordered input list of which images

Space between images, potential resizing

Output dimensions/resolution

My example has 10 images, but I'm imagining this expanding to thousands of PNGs tiled together, so solutions like imagemagick montage fail under RAM load before CSS does.

Update

Thanks, very helpful comments below; I guess what I'm looking for is something ideally like:

$ application whatever.xml.template #or

$ application whatever.xml.template -ncol=5 myfolder/mypng* -order 1,2,3,5,4 -dim 90x90 -output master.png

Where whatever.xml.template might store possibly everything but the order and filename, but maybe everything I added as command line arguments. Currently, I use my web backend to do this kind of logic and populate an HTML template. It would be great if I could do similar templating in a non-browser-based tool to produce master.png.

QPainter is your friend. That is all you need, plus first grade level math skills ;)

Could you explain a bit on the end use? A photo viewer? Or a single .png generator from multiple .png files?

Thank you @theGtknerd More of the latter, actually. I would like to make a single .png that is a collage of input pngs. That said, I would like the ability to permute the order and structure a bit, and the number of items forming the collage could be very large.

you can tile images in qt : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-image.html#fillMode-prop

if you want them in specific columns and rows then check Column and Row.

it should be simple to implement.
