[ #usageExample Usage  | #optionsOption Summary ]
Use the montage program 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. See ../www/command-line-processing.htmlCommand Line Processing  for advice on how to structure your montage command or see below for example usages of the command.
  
Example Usage
We list a few examples of the montage command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use.  To get started, lets montage two images into a single composite:
  montage -background #336699 -geometry +4+4 rose.jpg red-ball.png montage.jpg
  
../images/rose.jpgrose   
../images/red-ball.pngred ball   
==>  
../images/montage.jpgmontage 
Ok, lets add some decorations:  montage -label %f -frame 5 -background #336699 -geometry +4+4 rose.jpg red-ball.png frame.jpg
  
../images/rose.jpgrose.jpg   
../images/red-ball.pngred ball 	
==>  
../images/frame.jpgframe 
You can find additional examples of using montage in http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf/?ca=dnt-428Graphics from the Command Line .  Further discussion is available in  http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf2/?ca=dgr-lnxw15GraphicsLineMore Graphics from the Command Line  and http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6Examples of ImageMagick Usage .
