montage !!!montage NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION EXAMPLES OPTIONS X RESOURCES ENVIRONMENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SEE ALSO COPYRIGHT AUTHORS ---- !!NAME montage - create a composite image by combining several separate images !!SYNOPSIS __montage [[__ ''options'' __...]__ ''file'' __[[ [[__ ''options'' __...]__ ''file'' __...]__ ''output_file'' !!DESCRIPTION __montage__ creates a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image with the name of the image optionally appearing just below the individual tile. The composite image is constructed in the following manner. First, each image specified on the command line, except for the last, is scaled to fit the maximum tile size. The maximum tile size by default is 120x120. It can be modified with the __-geometry__ command line argument or X resource. See __Options__ for more information on command line arguments. See __X(1)__ for more information on X resources. Note that the maximum tile size need not be a square. Next the composite image is initialized with the color specified by the __-background__ command line argument or X resource. The width and height of the composite image is determined by the title specified, the maximum tile size, the number of tiles per row, the tile border width and height, the image border width, and the label height. The number of tiles per row specifies how many images are to appear in each row of the composite image. The default is to have 5 tiles in each row and 4 tiles in each column of the composite. A specific value is specified with __-tile__. The tile border width and height, and the image border width defaults to the value of the X resource __-borderwidth__. It can be changed with the __-borderwidth__ or __-geometry__ command line argument or X resource. The label height is determined by the font you specify with the __-font__ command line argument or X resource. If you do not specify a font, a font is chosen that allows the name of the image to fit the maximum width of a tiled area. The label colors is determined by the __-background__ and __-fill__ command line argument or X resource. Note, that if the background and pen colors are the same, labels will not appear. Initially, the composite image title is placed at the top if one is specified (refer to __-fill__). Next, each image is set onto the composite image, surrounded by its border color, with its name centered just below it. The individual images are left-justified within the width of the tiled area. The order of the images is the same as they appear on the command line unless the images have a scene keyword. If a scene number is specified in each image, then the images are tiled onto the composite in the order of their scene number. Finally, the last argument on the command line is the name assigned to the composite image. By default, the image is written in the __MIFF__ format and can be viewed or printed with ''display(1)''. Note, that if the number of tiles exceeds the default number of 20 (5 per row, 4 per column), more than one composite image is created. To ensure a single image is produced, use __-tile__ to increase the number of tiles to meet or exceed the number of input images. Finally, to create one or more empty spaces in the sequence of tiles, use the ____ image format. Note, a composite MIFF image displayed to an X server with __display__ behaves differently than other images. You can think of the composite as a visual image directory. Choose a particular tile of the composite and press a button to display it. See __display(1)__ and __miff(5)__ !!EXAMPLES To create a montage of a cockatoo, a parrot, and a hummingbird and write it to a file called birds, use: montage cockatoo.miff parrot.miff hummingbird.miff birds.miff To tile several bird images so that they are at most 256 pixels in width and 192 pixels in height, surrounded by a red border, and separated by 10 pixels of background color, use: montage -geometry 256x192+10+10 -bordercolor red birds.* montage.miff To create an unlabeled parrot image, 640 by 480 pixels, and surrounded by a border of black, use: montage -geometry 640x480 -bordercolor black -label To create an image of an eagle with a textured background, use: montage -texture bumps.jpg eagle.jpg eagle.png To join several GIF images together without any extraneous graphics (e.g. no label, no shadowing, no surrounding tile frame), use: montage +frame +shadow +label -tile 5x1 -geometry 50x50+0+0 *.png joined.png !!OPTIONS Any option you specify on the command line remains in effect for the group of images following it, until the group is terminated by the appearance of any option or __-noop__. For example, to make a montage of three images, the first with 32 colors, the second with an unlimited number of colors, and the third with only 16 colors, use: montage -colors 32 cockatoo.1 -noop cockatoo.2 -colors 16 cockatoo.3 cockatoos.miff For a more detailed description of each option, see ''ImageMagick(1)''. __-adjoin__ join images into a single multi-image file __-background__ '''' the background color __-blur__ '''' blur the image with a gaussian operator __-bordercolor__ '''' the border color __-borderwidth__ '''' the border width __-cache__ '''' megabytes of memory available to the pixel cache __-chop__ '''' remove pixels from the interior of an image __-colors__ '''' preferred number of colors in the image __-colorspace__ '''' the type of colorspace __-comment__ '''' annotate an image with a comment __-compose__ '''' the type of image composition __-compress__ '''' the type of image compression __-crop__ '''' preferred size and location of the cropped image __-debug__ enable debug printout __-density__ '''' vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image __-depth__ '''' depth of the image __-display__ '''' specifies the X server to contact __-dispose__ '''' GIF disposal method __-dither__ apply Floyd/Steinberg error diffusion to the image __-draw__ '''' annotate an image with one or more graphic primitives __-endian__ '''' specify endianness (MSB or LSB) of output image __-fill__ '''' color to use when filling a graphic primitive __-filter__ '''' use this type of filter when resizing an image __-font__ '''' use this font when annotating the image with text __-frame__ '' '' surround the image with an ornamental border __-gamma__ '''' level of gamma correction __-geometry__ '' '' preferred size and location of the Image window. __-gravity__ '''' direction primitive gravitates to when annotating the image. __-help__ print usage instructions __-interlace__ '''' the type of interlacing scheme __-label__ '''' assign a label to an image __-matte__ store matte channel if the image has one __-mattecolor__ '''' specify the matte color __-mode__ '''' mode of operation __-monochrome__ transform the image to black and white __-noop__ NOOP (no option) __-page__ '''' size and location of an image canvas __-pen__ '''' specify the pen color for drawing operations __-pointsize__ '''' pointsize of the Postscript, OPTION1, or TrueType font __-quality__ '''' JPEG/MIFF/PNG compression level __-resize__ '''' resize and locate an image __-rotate__ '''' apply Paeth image rotation to the image __-sampling_factor__ '''' sampling factors used by JPEG encoder. __-scenes__ '''' range of image scene numbers to read __-shadow__ '''' shadow the montage __-sharpen__ '''' sharpen the image __-size__ '''' width and height of the image __-stroke__ '''' color to use when stroking a graphic primitive __-strokewidth__ '''' set the stroke width __-texture__ '''' name of texture to tile onto the image background __-tile__ '''' layout of images [[''montage''] __-title__ '''' assign title to displayed image [[''animate, display, montage''] __-transparent__ '''' make this color transparent within the image __-treedepth__ '''' tree depth for the color reduction algorithm __-trim__ trim an image __-type__ '''' the image type __-verbose__ print detailed information about the image For a more detailed description of each option, see ''ImageMagick(1)''. !!X RESOURCES __Montage__ options can appear on the command line or in your X resource file. Options on the command line supersede values specified in your X resource file. See __X(1)__ for more information on X resources. All __montage__ options have a corresponding X resource. In addition, __montage__ uses the following X resources: __background__ ''(class Background)'' background color Specifies the preferred color to use for the composite image background. The default is #ccc. __borderColor__ ''(class BorderColor)'' border color Specifies the preferred color to use for the composite image border. The default is #ccc. __borderWidth__ ''(class BorderWidth)'' border width Specifies the width in pixels of the composite image border. The default is 2. __font__ ''(class Font)'' font to use Specifies the name of the preferred font to use when displaying text within the composite image. The default is 9x15, fixed, or 5x8 determined by the composite image size. __matteColor__ ''(class MatteColor)'' color of the frame Specify the color of an image frame. A 3D effect is achieved by using highlight and shadow colors derived from this color. The default value is #697B8F. __pen__ ''(class Pen)'' text color Specifies the preferred color to use for text within the composite image. The default is black. __title__ ''(class Title)'' composite image title This resource specifies the title to be placed at the top of the composite image. The default is not to place a title at the top of the composite image. !!ENVIRONMENT __DISPLAY__ To get the default host, display number, and screen. !!ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The __MIT X Consortium__ for making network transparent graphics a reality.
