ImageMagick Montage Command-line Tool
- +Use the montage program 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. See Command Line Processing for advice on how to structure your montage command or see below for example usages of the command.

Example Usage
We list a few examples of the montage command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, let's montage two images into a single composite:

$magick> montage -background #336699 -geometry +4+4 rose.jpg red-ball.png montage.jpg
+$ montage -background #336699 -geometry +4+4 rose.jpg red-ball.png montage.jpg
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ Ok, let's add some decorations:
-$magick> montage -label %f -frame 5 -background #336699 -geometry +4+4 rose.jpg red-ball.png frame.jpg
+$ montage -label %f -frame 5 -background #336699 -geometry +4+4 rose.jpg red-ball.png frame.jpg
