montage(1)

NAME
montage - create a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionally adorned with a border, frame, image name, and more.

SYNOPSIS

montage input-file[s] [options] output-file

OVERVIEW
The montage program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools. Use it to create a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionally adorned with a border, frame, image name, and more.

Image Operators:
  -adaptive-sharpen geometry
                       adaptively sharpen pixels; increase effect near edges

  -resize geometry resize the image
  -rotate degrees apply Paeth rotation to the image
  -strip strip image of all profiles and comments
  -transform affine transform image
  -transparent color make this color transparent within the image
  -type type image type
  -unsharp geometry sharpen the image

Image Sequence Operators:
  -coalesce merge a sequence of images

Image Stack Operators:
  -clone indexes clone an image
  -delete indexes delete the image from the image sequence
  -duplicate count,indexes
                        duplicate an image one or more times
  -insert index insert last image into the image sequence
  -swap indexes swap two images in the image sequence

Miscellaneous Options:
  -debug events display copious debugging information
  -help print program options
  -log format format of debugging information
  -list type print a list of supported option arguments
  -version print version information

In addition to those listed above, you can specify these standard X resources as command line options: -background, -bordercolor, -borderwidth, -font, -mattecolor, or -title.

By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
