.SH NAME
montage - creates a composite image by combining several separate images
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "montage" [ \fIoptions\fP ...] \fIfile\fP
[ [ \fIoptions\fP ...] \fIfile\fP ...] \fIoutput_file\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmontage\fP creates a composite image by combining several separate images.
The images are tiled on the composite image with the name of the image
optionally appearing just below the individual tile.
The composite image is constructed in the following manner. First,
each image specified on the command line, except for the last, is
scaled to fit the maximum tile size. The maximum tile size by default
is 120x120. It can be modified with the \fB-geometry\fP command line
argument or X resource. See \fBOPTIONS\fP for more information on
command line arguments. See \fBX(1)\fP for more information on X
resources. Note that the maximum tile size need not be a square. To
respect the aspect ratio of each image append \fB~\fP to the geometry
specification.
Next the composite image is initialized with the color specified by the
\fP-background\fP command line argument or X resource. The width and
height of the composite image is determined by the title specified,
the maximum tile size, the number of tiles per row, the tile border
width and height, the image border width, and the label height. The
number of tiles per row specifies how many images are to appear in each
row of the composite image. The default is to have 5 tiles in each row
and 4 tiles in each column of the composite. A specific value is
specified with \fB-tile\fP. The tile border width and height,
and the image border width defaults to the value of the X resource
\fB-borderwidth\fP. It can be changed with the \fB-borderwidth\fP or
\fB-geometry\fP command line argument or X resource. The label height
is determined by the font you specify with the \fB-font\fP command line
argument or X resource. If you do not specify a font, a font is
chosen that allows the name of the image to fit the maximum width of a
tiled area. The label colors is determined by the \fB-background\fP
and \fB-foreground\fP command line argument or X resource. Note, that
if the background and foreground colors are the same, labels will not
appear.
Initially, the composite image title is placed at the top if one is
specified (refer to \fB-foreground\fP X resource). Next, each image is
set onto the composite image, surrounded by its border color, with its
name centered just below it. The individual images are left-justified
within the width of the tiled area. The order of the images is the
same as they appear on the command line unless the images have a scene
keyword. If a scene number is specified in each image, then the images
are tiled onto the composite in the order of their scene number. Finally,
the last argument on the command line is the name assigned to the
composite image. By default, the image is written in the \fBMIFF\fP format
and can be viewed or printed with \fBdisplay(1)\fP.
Note, that if the number of tiles exceeds the default number of 20
(5 per row, 4 per column), more than one composite image is
created. To ensure a single image is produced, use \fB-tile\fB to
increase the number of tiles to meet or exceed the number of input images.
Finally, Finally, to create one or more empty spaces in the sequence of tiles,
use the \fBNULL\fP image format.
.SH EXAMPLES

.PP
To tile several bird images so that they are at most 256 pixels in width and
192 pixels in height, surrounded by a red border, and separated by
10 pixels of background color, use:
.PP

montage -geometry 256x192+10+10 -bordercolor red birds.* montage.miff
.PP
To create an unlabeled parrot image, 640 by 480 pixels, and surrounded
by a border of black, use:
.PP
.B
montage -geometry 640x480 -bordercolor black -label "" parrot.miff bird.miff
.PP
To create an image of an eagle with a textured background, use:
.PP

.PP
.PP
To join several GIF images together without any extraneous graphics
(e.g. no label, no shadowing, no surrounding tile frame), use:
.B
montage +frame +shadow +label -geometry 50x50+0+0 -tile 5x1 *.gif joined.gif
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B "-adjoin
join images into a single multi-image file.
.TP
.B "-colors \fIvalue\fP"
preferred number of colors in the image.
The actual number of colors in the image may be less than your request,
but never more. Note, this is a color reduction option. Images with
less unique colors than specified with this option will remain unchanged.
Refer to \fBquantize(9)\fP for more details.
Note, options \fB-dither\fP, \fB-colorspace\fP, and \fB-treedepth\fP affect
the color reduction algorithm.
.TP
.B "-colorspace \fIvalue\fP"
the type of colorspace: \fBGRAY\fP, \fBOHTA\fP, \fBRGB\fP,
\fBTransparent\fP, \fBXYZ\fP, \fBYCbCr\fP, \fBYIQ\fP, \fBYPbPr\fP, or
\fBYUV\fP.
Color reduction, by default, takes place in the RGB color space.
Empirical evidence suggests that distances in color spaces such as YUV
or YIQ correspond to perceptual color differences more closely
than do distances in RGB space. These color spaces may give better
results when color reducing an image. Refer to \fBquantize(9)\fP for
more details.
The \fBTransparent\fP color space behaves uniquely in that it preserves
the matte channel of the image if it exists.
The \fB-colors\fP or \fB-monochrome\fP option is required for this option
to take effect.
.TP
.B "-comment \fIstring\fP"
annotate an image with a comment.
By default, each image is commented with its file name. Use this
option to assign a specific comment to the image. Optionally you can
include the image filename, type, width, height, or scene number by
embedding special format characters. Embed \fB%f\fP for filename,
\fB%d\fP for directory, \fB%e\fP for filename extention, \fB%t\fP for
top of filename, \fB%m\fP for magick, \fB%w\fP for width, \fB%h\fP for
height, \fB%s\fP for scene number, \fB%b\fP for file size, or \fB\\n\fP
for newline. For example,
.nf
-comment "%m:%f %wx%h"
.fi
produces an image comment of \fBMIFF:bird.miff 512x480\fP for an image
titled \fBbird.miff\fP and whose width is 512 and height is 480.
If the first character of \fIstring\fP is \fB@\fP, the image comment is read
from a file titled by the remaining characters in the string.
.TP
.B "-compose \fIoperator\fP"
the type of image composition.
By default, each of the composite image pixels are replaced by the
corresponding image tile pixel. You can choose an alternate composite
operation:
over
in
out
atop
xor
plus
minus
add
subtract
difference
bumpmap
replace
.PP
The operations behaves as follows:
.TP 9
.B over
The result will be the union of the two image shapes, with \fIcomposite image\fP
obscuring \fIimage\fP in the region of overlap.
.TP 9
.B in
The result is simply \fIcomposite image\fP cut by the shape of
\fIcomposite image window\fP. None of the image data of \fIimage\fP will be
in the result.
.TP 9
.B out
The resulting image is \fIcomposite image\fP with the shape of \fIimage\fP
cut out.
.TP 9
.B atop
The result is the same shape as image \fIimage\fP, with
\fIcomposite image\fP obscuring \fIimage\fP where the image shapes
overlap. Note this differs from \fBover\fP because the portion of
\fIcomposite image\fP outside \fIimage\fP's shape does not appear in the
result.
.TP 9
.B xor
The result is the image data from both \fIcomposite image\fP and \fIimage\fP
that is outside the overlap region. The overlap region will be blank.
.TP 9
.B plus
The result is just the sum of the image data. Output values are
cropped to 255 (no overflow). This operation is independent
of the matte channels.
.TP 9
.B minus
The result of \fIcomposite image\fP \- \fIimage\fP, with underflow cropped
to zero. The matte channel is ignored (set to 255, full coverage).
.TP 9
.B add
The result of \fIcomposite image\fP + \fIimage\fP, with overflow wrapping
around (\fImod\fP 256).
.TP 9
.B subtract
The result of \fIcomposite image\fP - \fIimage\fP, with underflow wrapping
around (\fImod\fP 256). The \fBadd\fP and \fBsubtract\fP operators can
be used to perform reversible transformations.
.TP 9
.B difference
The result of abs(\fIcomposite image\fP \- \fIimage\fP). This is useful
for comparing two very similar images.
.TP 9
.B bumpmap
The result of \fIimage\fP shaded by \fIcomposite image\fP.
.TP 9
.B replace
The resulting image is \fIimage\fP replaced with \fIcomposite image\fP.
Here the matte information is ignored.
.PP
The image compositor requires an matte, or alpha channel in the image
for some operations. This extra channel usually defines a mask which
represents a sort of a cookie-cutter for the image. This is the case
when matte is 255 (full coverage) for pixels inside the shape, zero
outside, and between zero and 255 on the boundary. If \fIimage\fP does
not have an matte channel, it is initialized with 0 for any pixel
matching in color to pixel location (0,0), otherwise 255 (to work
properly \fBborderwidth\fP must be 0).
.TP
.B "-compress \fItype\fP"
the type of image compression: \fIZlib\fP or \fIRunlengthEncoded\fP.
This option specifies the type of image compression for the composite
image. See \fBmiff(5)\fP for details.
Specify \fB\+compress\fP to store the binary image in an uncompressed format.
The default is the compression type of the specified image file.
.TP
.B "-crop \fI<width>{%}x<height>{%}{\+-}<x offset>{\+-}<y offset>\fP"
preferred size and location of the cropped image. See \fBX(1)\fP for details
about the geometry specification.
To specify a percentage width or height instead, append \fB%\fP. For example
to crop the image by ten percent on all sides of the image, use \fB-crop 10%\fP.
Use cropping to tile only a particular area of an image. Use \fB-crop
0x0\fP to remove edges that are the background color.
The equivalent X resource for this option is \fBcropGeometry\fP
(class \fBCropGeometry\fP). See \fBX RESOURCES\fP for details.
.TP
.B "-density \fI<width>x<height>\fP
vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image.
This option specifies an image density when decoding a Postscript or Portable
Document page. The default is 72 pixels per inch in the horizontal and
vertical direction.
.TP
.B "-display \fIhost:display[.screen]\fP"
specifies the X server to contact; see \fBX(1)\fP.
Specify \fB+display\fP if an X server is not available. The label font
is obtained from the X server. If none is available, the composite image
will not have labels. Since the X server is necessary to read X resources,
all options must be set via the command line when +display is specified.
.TP
.B "-dispose \fImethod\fP"
GIF disposal method.
Here are the valid methods:
.nf
0 No disposal specified.
1 Do not dispose.
2 Restore to background color.
3 Restore to previous.
.fi
.TP
.B "-dither"
apply Floyd/Steinberg error diffusion to the image.
The basic strategy of dithering is to trade intensity resolution for
spatial resolution by averaging the intensities of several neighboring
pixels. Images which suffer from severe contouring when reducing colors
can be improved with this option.
The \fB-colors\fP or \fB-monochrome\fP option is required
for this option to take effect.
.TP
.B "-draw \fIstring\fP"
annotate an image with one or more graphic primitives.
Use this option to annotate an image with one or more graphic primitives.
The primitives include
.nf
rectangle
circle
polygon
color
matte
text
image
.fi
\fBRectangle\fP, \fBcolor\fP, \fBmatte\fP, \fBtext\fP, and \fBimage\fP require
an upper left and lower right coordinate. \fBCircle\fP requires the center
coordinate and a coordinate on the outer edge. Finally, \fBpolygon\fP
requires three or more coordinates defining its boundaries. Coordinates are
integers separated by an optional comma. For example, to define a circle
centered at 100,100 that extends to 150,150 use:
.nf
-draw 'circle 100,100 150,150'
.fi
Use \fBcolor\fP to change the color of a pixel. Follow the
pixel coordinate with a method:
.nf
point
replace
floodfill
reset
.fi
Consider the target pixel as that specified by your coordinate. The
\fBpoint\fP method recolors the target pixel. The \fBreplace\fP method
recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel.
\fBFloodfill\fP recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target
pixel and is a neighbor. Finally, \fBreset\fP recolors all pixels.
Use \fBmatte\fP to the change the pixel matte value to transparent.
Follow the pixel coordinate with a method (see the \fBcolor\fB
primitive for a description of methods). The \fBpoint\fP method
changes the matte value of the target pixel. The \fBreplace\fP method
changes the matte value of any pixel that matches the color of the
target pixel. \fBFloodfill\fP changes the matte value of any pixel
that matches the color of the target pixel and is a neighbor. Finally
\fBreset\fP changes the matte value of all pixels.
Use \fBtext\fP to annotate an image with text. Follow the
text coordinates with a string. If the string has embedded spaces,
enclose it in double quotes. Optionally you can
include the image filename, type, width, height, or scene number by
embedding special format characters. Embed \fB%f\fP for filename,
\fB%d\fP for directory, \fB%e\fP for filename extention,
\fB%t\fP for top of filename,
\fB%m\fP for magick, \fB%w\fP for width, \fB%h\fP for height, \fB%s\fP
for scene number, \fB%b\fP for file size, or
\fB\\n\fP for newline. For example,
.nf
-draw 'text 100,100 "%m:%f %wx%h"'
.fi
annotates the image with \fBMIFF:bird.miff 512x480\fP for an image
titled \fBbird.miff\fP and whose width is 512 and height is 480.
If the first character of the string is \fB@\fP, the text is read
from a file titled by the remaining characters in the string.
Use \fBimage\fP to composite an image with another image. Follow the
image coordinates with the filename of an image.
If the first character of \fIstring\fP is \fB@\fP, the text is read
from a file titled by the remaining characters in the string.
You can set the primitive color, font color, and font bounding box color with
\fB-pen\fP, \fB-font\fP, and \fB-box\fP respectively. Options are
processed in command line order so be sure to use \fB-pen\fP
\fIbefore\fP the \fB-draw\fP option.
.TP
.B "-font \fIname\fP"
use this font when annotating the image with text.
\fBConvert\fP contacts an X server to obtain the font. If an X server is not
available, a Postscript font is used. You can set the pointsize with
\fB-pointsize\fP.
.TP
.B "-frame"
surround the image with an ornamental border.
The color of the border is specified with the \fB-mattecolor\fP command line
option. If no frame is desired, use \fB+frame\fP.
.TP
.B "-gamma \fIvalue\fP"
level of gamma correction.
The same color image displayed on two different workstations may look
different due to differences in the display monitor. Use gamma
correction to adjust for this color difference. Reasonable values
extend from 0.8 to 2.3.
You can apply separate gamma values to the red, green, and blue
channels of the image with a gamma value list delineated with slashes
(i.e. 1.7/2.3/1.2).
.TP
.B "-geometry \fI<width>x<height>+<border width>+<border height>{!}{<}{>}\fP"
preferred tile and border size of each tile of the composite image.
By default, the width and height are maximum values. That is, the
image is expanded or contracted to fit the width and height value while
maintaining the aspect ratio of the image. Append an exclamation point
to the geometry to force the image size to exactly the size you
specify. For example, if you specify \fB640x480!\fP the image width is
set to 640 pixels and height to 480. If only one factor is
specified, both the width and height assume the value.
Use \fB>\fP to change the dimensions of the image \fIonly\fP
if its size exceeds the geometry specification. \fB<\fP resizes
the image \fIonly\fP if its dimensions is less than the geometry
specification. For example, if you specify \fB640x480>\fP and the
image size is 512x512, the image size does not change. However, if
the image is 1024x1024, it is resized to 640x480.
Each image is surrounded by a border whose size in pixels is specified
as \fI<border width>\fP and \fI<border height>\fP and whose color is
the background color. By default, the tile size is 256x256 and there is no
border.
The equivalent X resource for this option is \fBimageGeometry\fP
(class \fBImageGeometry\fP). See \fBX RESOURCES\fP for details.
.TP
.B "-gravity \fIdirection\fP"
direction image gravitates to within a tile. See \fBX(1)\fP for details
about the gravity specification.
A tile of the composite image is a fixed width and height. However,
the image within the tile may not fill it completely (see
\fB-geometry\fP). The direction you choose specifies where to
position the image within the tile. For example \fICenter\fP gravity
forces the image to be centered within the tile. By default, the image
gravity is \fICenter\fP.
.TP
.B "-interlace \fItype\fP"
the type of interlacing scheme: \fBNone\fP, \fBLine\fP, \fBPlane\fP, or
\fBPartition\fP. The default is \fBPlane\fP.
This option is used to specify the type of interlacing scheme for raw
image formats such as \fBRGB\fP or \fBYUV\fP. \fBNone\fP means do not
interlace (RGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGB...), \fBLine\fP uses scanline
interlacing (RRR...GGG...BBB...RRR...GGG...BBB...), and \fBPlane\fP uses
plane interlacing (RRRRRR...GGGGGG...BBBBBB...). \fBPartition\fP is like
plane except the different planes are saved to individual files (e.g.
image.R, image.G, and image.B).
Use \fBLine\fP, or \fBPlane\fP to create an interlaced GIF or progressive
JPEG image.
.TP
.B "-label \fIname\fP"
assign a label to an image.
By default, each image is labeled with its file name. Use this option
to assign a specific label to the image. Optionally you can include
the image filename, type, width, height, or scene number in the label
by embedding special format characters. Embed \fB%f\fP for filename,
\fB%d\fP for directory, \fB%e\fP for filename extention,
\fB%t\fP for top of filename,
\fB%m\fP for magick, \fB%w\fP for width, \fB%h\fP for height,
\fB%s\fP for scene number, \fB%b\fP for file size, or
\fB\\n\fP for newline. For example,
.nf
-label "%m:%f %wx%h"
.fi
produces an image label of \fBMIFF:bird.miff 512x480\fP for an image
titled \fBbird.miff\fP and whose width is 512 and height is 480.
If the first character of \fIstring\fP is \fB@\fP, the image label is read
from a file titled by the remaining characters in the string.
.TP
.B "-matte"
store matte channel if the image has one.
.TP
.B "-mode \fItype\fP"
the type of montage: \fBFrame\fP, \fBUnframe\fP, \fBConcatentate\fP.
The default is \fBUnframe\fP.
This option is for convenience. You can obtain the desired result by
setting individual options (e.g. \fBUnframe\fP is equivalent to
\fB+frame\fP \fB+shadow\fP \fB+borderwidth\fP).
.TP
.B "-monochrome"
transform the image to black and white.
.TP
.B "-page \fI<width>x<height>{\+-}<x offset>{\+-}<y offset>\fP"
preferred size and location of the Postscript page.
Use this option to specify the dimensions of the Postscript page in
pixels per inch or a TEXT page in pixels. The default for a Postscript page is
to center the image on a letter page 612 by 792 pixels. The
margins are 1/2" (i.e. 612x792+42+42). Other common sizes are:
Letter 612x 792
Tabloid 792x1224
Ledger 1224x 792
Legal 612x1008
Statement 396x 612
Executive 540x 720
A3 842x1190
A4 595x 842
A5 420x 595
B4 729x1032
B5 516x 729
Folio 612x 936
Quarto 610x 780
10x14 720x1008
.PP
For convenience you can specify the page size by media (e.g.
A4, Ledger, etc.).
.PP
To place a Postscript image with a given size on a given location on a
page, use -page +HOFFSET+VOFFSET -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT (fill in
numbers). Note: this is only for generating Postscript, not Encapsulated
Postscript.
.PP
To position a GIF image, use -page +LEFT+TOP (e.g. -page +100+200).
.PP
The default page dimensions for a TEXT image is 612x792.
.TP
.B "-pointsize \fIvalue\fP"
pointsize of the Postscript font.
.TP
.B "-quality \fIvalue\fP"
JPEG quality setting.
Quality is 0 (worst) to 100 (best). The default is 75.
.TP
.B "-rotate \fIdegrees{<}{>}\fP"
apply Paeth image rotation to the image.
Use \fB>\fP to rotate the image \fIonly\fP if its width exceeds the
height. \fB<\fP rotates the image \fIonly\fP if its width is less than
the height. For example, if you specify \fB-90>\fP and the image size
is 480x640, the image is not rotated by the specified angle. However,
if the image is 640x480, it is rotated by -90 degrees.
Empty triangles left over from rotating the image are filled with
the color defined as \fBbordercolor\fP (class \fBborderColor\fP).
.TP
.B "-scene \fIvalue\fP"
image scene number.
.TP
.B "-shadow
add a shadow beneath a tile to simulate depth.
.TP
.B "-size \fI<width>{%}x<height>{%}{+offset}{!}"
width and height of the image.
Use this option to specify the width and height of raw images whose
dimensions are unknown such as \fBGRAY\fP, \fBRGB\fP, or \fBCMYK\fP.
In addition to width and height, use \fB-size\fP to skip any header
information in the image or tell the number of colors in a \fBMAP\fP
image file, (e.g. -size 640x512+256).
.TP
.B "-texture \fIfilename\fP"
name of texture to tile onto the image background.
.TP
.B "-tile \fI<width>x<height>\fP"
specifies how many tiles are to appear in each row and column of the
composite image.
Specify the number of tiles per row with width and tiles per column
with height. For example if you want 1 tile in each row and a maximum
of 10 tiles in the composite image, use -tile 1x10. The default is to
have 5 tiles in each row and 4 tiles in each column of the composite.
.TP
.B "-transparency \fIcolor\fP"
make this color transparent within the image.
.TP
.B "-treedepth \fIvalue\fP"
Normally, this integer value is zero or one. A zero or one tells
\fBmontage\fP to choose a optimal tree depth for the color reduction
algorithm.
An optimal depth generally allows the best representation of the source
image with the fastest computational speed and the least amount of
memory. However, the default depth is inappropriate for some images.
To assure the best representation, try values between 2 and 8 for this
parameter. Refer to \fBquantize(9)\fP for more details.
The \fB-colors\fP or \fB-monochrome\fP option is required for this option
to take effect.
.TP
.B -verbose
print detailed information about the image.
This information is printed: image scene number; image name; image size;
the image class (\fIDirectClass\fP or \fIPseudoClass\fP); the total
number of unique colors; and the number of seconds to read and write the
image.
.PP
In addition to those listed above, you can specify these standard X
resources as command line options: -background, -bordercolor, -borderwidth,
-font, -foreground, -mattecolor, or -title.
See \fBX RESOURCES\fP for details.
.PP
Options are processed in command line order.
Any option you specify on the command line remains in effect until it is
explicitly changed by specifying the option again with a different effect.
For example, to montage two images, the first with 32 colors and the
second with only 16 colors, use:
.PP
montage -colors 32 cockatoo.1 -colors 16 cockatoo.2 cockatoo.miff
.PP
Change \fI-\fP to \fI\+\fP in any option above to reverse its effect.
For example, specify \fB\+dither\fP to not apply error diffusion to an
image.
.PP
By default, the image format 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). See \fBconvert(1)\fP for a list
of valid image formats.
.PP
When you specify \fBX\fP as your image type, the filename has special
meaning. It specifies an X window by id, name, or \fBroot\fP. If no
filename is specified, the window is selected by clicking the mouse in
the desired window.
.PP
Specify \fIinput_file\fP as \fI-\fP for standard input,
\fIoutput_file\fP as \fI-\fP for standard output. If \fIinput_file\fP
has the extension \fB.Z\fP or \fB.gz\fP, the file is uncompressed with
\fBuncompress\fP or \fBgunzip\fP respectively. If \fIoutput_file\fP
has the extension \fB.Z\fP or \fB.gz\fP, the file size is compressed
using with \fBcompress\fP or \fBgzip\fP respectively. Finally, precede
the image file name with \fI|\fP to pipe to or from a system command.
.PP
Use an optional index enclosed in brackets after a file name to specify
a desired subimage of a multi-resolution image format like Photo CD
(e.g. img0001.pcd[4]) or a range for MPEG images (e.g. video.mpg[50-75]).
A subimage specification can be disjoint (e.g. image.tiff[2,4,7]).
For raw images, specify a subimage with a geometry (e.g. -size 640x512
image.rgb[320x256+50+50]).
.PP
Single images are written with the filename you specify. However,
multi-part images (e.g. a multi-page Postscript document with \fB+adjoin\fP
specified) are written with the filename followed by a period (\fB.\fP) and
the scene number. You can change this behavior by embedding a \fBprintf\fP
format specification in the file name. For example,
.nf
image%02d.miff
.fi
montages files image00.miff, image01.miff, etc.
.PP
Note, a composite MIFF image displayed to an X server with
\fBdisplay\fP behaves differently than other images. You can think of
the composite as a visual image directory. Choose a particular tile of
the composite and press a button to display it. See \fBdisplay(1)\fP
and \fBmiff(5)\fP for details.
.SH "X RESOURCES"
\fBmontage\fP options can appear on the command line or in your X
resource file. Options on the command line supersede values specified
in your X resource file. See \fBX(1)\fP for more information on X
resources.
All \fBmontage\fP options have a corresponding X resource. In addition,
\fBmontage\fP uses the following X resources:
.TP
.B background (\fPclass\fB Background)
Specifies the preferred color to use for the composite image background. The
default is #ccc.
.TP
.B borderColor (\fPclass\fB BorderColor)
Specifies the preferred color to use for the composite image border. The
default is #ccc.
.TP
.B borderWidth (\fPclass\fB BorderWidth)
Specifies the width in pixels of the composite image border. The default is 2.
.TP
.B font (\fPclass\fB Font)
Specifies the name of the preferred font to use when displaying text
within the composite image. The default is 9x15, fixed, or 5x8 determined by
the composite image size.
.TP
.B foreground (\fPclass\fB Foreground)
Specifies the preferred color to use for text within the composite image. The
default is black.
.TP
.B matteColor (\fPclass\fB MatteColor)
