💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet montage (and its whole manual page, montage-im6.q16(1)) — it makes a composite image by smooshing several separate images together. The images get tiled onto that composite, and you can optionally dress it up with a border, a frame, the image name, and more. it's giving collage era 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

montage-im6.q16 input-file[s] [options] output-file

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

so montage-im6.q16 is literally a member of the ImageMagick-ims6.q16(1) suite of tools (yes that's the name, don't @ me). You 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, a frame, an image name, and more. lowkey iconic.

bestie, on top of all of the above, you can also specify these standard X resources as command line options: -background, -bordercolor, -borderwidth, -font, -mattecolor, or -title. cute right?

and ok, the ✨magic✨ part: by default, the image format of file is determined by its magic number. Wanna force 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). And if you want standard input or output, specify file as -. periodt 💅
