OVERVIEW

14       The  montage  program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools.
15       Use it to create  a  composite  image  by  combining  several  separate
16       images.  The images are tiled on the composite image optionally adorned
17       with a border, frame, image name, and more.

143       width, -font, -mattecolor, or -title.
144
145       By  default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic num‐
146       ber.  To specify a particular image format, precede the  filename  with
147       an  image  format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image
148       type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as '-' for
149       standard input or output.
