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.

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

       By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic  num-
       ber.   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.
