       images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionall adorned
       with a border, frame, image name, and more.

SYNOPSIS
       montage input-file [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.

       Image Sequence Operators:
         -coalesce            merge a sequence of images

       Miscellaneous Options:
         -debug events        display copious debugging information
         -help                print program options
         -log format          format of debugging information

         -version             print version information

       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.
