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

@@ -195,7 +265,7 @@

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
