NAME
     montage - create a composite image by combining several sep-
     arate 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 compos-
     ite  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, -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.
