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 Sequence Operators:

       Image Stack Operators:
         -clone indexes       clone an image
         -delete indexes      delete the image from the image sequence
         -duplicate count,indexes

       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.
