25 !!DESCRIPTION
26
27
28 __montage__ creates a composite image by combining
29 several separate images. The images are tiled on the
30 composite image with the name of the image optionally
31 appearing just below the individual tile.
32
33
34 The composite image is constructed in the following manner.
35 First, each image specified on the command line, except for
36 the last, is scaled to fit the maximum tile size. The
37 maximum tile size by default is 120x120. It can be modified
38 with the __-geometry__ command line argument or X
39 resource. See __Options__ for more information on command
40 line arguments. See __X(1)__ for more information on X
41 resources. Note that the maximum tile size need not be a
42 square.
43
44
45 Next the composite image is initialized with the color
46 specified by the __-background__ command line argument or
47 X resource. The width and height of the composite image is
48 determined by the title specified, the maximum tile size,
49 the number of tiles per row, the tile border width and
50 height, the image border width, and the label height. The
51 number of tiles per row specifies how many images are to
52 appear in each row of the composite image. The default is to
53 have 5 tiles in each row and 4 tiles in each column of the
54 composite. A specific value is specified with __-tile__.
55 The tile border width and height, and the image border width
56 defaults to the value of the X resource __-borderwidth__.
57 It can be changed with the __-borderwidth__ or
58 __-geometry__ command line argument or X resource. The
59 label height is determined by the font you specify with the
60 __-font__ command line argument or X resource. If you do
61 not specify a font, a font is chosen that allows the name of
62 the image to fit the maximum width of a tiled area. The
63 label colors is determined by the __-background__ and
64 __-fill__ command line argument or X resource. Note, that
65 if the background and pen colors are the same, labels will
66 not appear.
67
68
69 Initially, the composite image title is placed at the top if
70 one is specified (refer to __-fill__). Next, each image
71 is set onto the composite image, surrounded by its border
72 color, with its name centered just below it. The individual
73 images are left-justified within the width of the tiled
74 area. The order of the images is the same as they appear on
75 the command line unless the images have a scene keyword. If
76 a scene number is specified in each image, then the images
77 are tiled onto the composite in the order of their scene
78 number. Finally, the last argument on the command line is
79 the name assigned to the composite image. By default, the
80 image is written in the __MIFF__ format and can be viewed
81 or printed with ''display(1)''.
82
83
84 Note, that if the number of tiles exceeds the default number
85 of 20 (5 per row, 4 per column), more than one composite
86 image is created. To ensure a single image is produced, use
87 __-tile__ to increase the number of tiles to meet or
88 exceed the number of input images.
89
90
91 Finally, to create one or more empty spaces in the sequence
92 of tiles, use the ____ image
93 format.
94
95
96 Note, a composite MIFF image displayed to an X server with
97 __display__ behaves differently than other images. You
98 can think of the composite as a visual image directory.
99 Choose a particular tile of the composite and press a button
100 to display it. See __display(1)__ and
101 __miff(5)__
102 !!EXAMPLES
103
104
105 To create a montage of a cockatoo, a parrot, and a
106 hummingbird and write it to a file called birds,
107 use:
108
109
110 montage cockatoo.miff parrot.miff hummingbird.miff
111 birds.miff
112
113
114 To tile several bird images so that they are at most 256
115 pixels in width and 192 pixels in height, surrounded by a
116 red border, and separated by 10 pixels of background color,
117 use:
118
119
120 montage -geometry 256x192+10+10 -bordercolor red birds.*
121 montage.miff
122
123
124 To create an unlabeled parrot image, 640 by 480 pixels, and
125 surrounded by a border of black, use:
126
127
128 montage -geometry 640x480 -bordercolor black -label
129
130
131 To create an image of an eagle with a textured background,
132 use:
133
134
135 montage -texture bumps.jpg eagle.jpg eagle.png
136
137
138 To join several GIF images together without any extraneous
139 graphics (e.g. no label, no shadowing, no surrounding tile
140 frame), use:
141
142
143 montage +frame +shadow +label -tile 5x1 -geometry 50x50+0+0
144 *.png joined.png
145 !!OPTIONS
146
147
148 Any option you specify on the command line remains in effect
149 for the group of images following it, until the group is
150 terminated by the appearance of any option or __-noop__.
151 For example, to make a montage of three images, the first
152 with 32 colors, the second with an unlimited number of
153 colors, and the third with only 16 colors, use:
154
155
156 montage -colors 32 cockatoo.1 -noop cockatoo.2 -colors 16
157 cockatoo.3 cockatoos.miff

541
542
543 All __montage__ options have a corresponding X resource.
