| <h1 align="center">Magick::Montage Class</h1> |
| <p>A montage is a single image which is composed of thumbnail images composed in a uniform grid. The size of the montage image is determined by the size of the individual thumbnails and the number of rows and columns in the grid.</p> |
| <p>The following illustration shows a montage consisting of three columns and two rows of thumbnails rendered on a gray background:</p> |
| <p class="image"><img src="montage-sample-framed.jpg" name="Graphic1" align="bottom" width="378" height="238" border="0"/></p> |
| <p>Montages may be either "plain" (undecorated thumbnails) or "framed" (decorated thumbnails). In order to more easily understand the options supplied to <a href="STL.html#montageImages"><i>MontageImages()</i></a>, montage options are supplied by two different classes: <a href="Montage.html#Magick::Montage"><i>Magick::Montage</i></a> and <a href="Montage.html#Magick::MontageFramed"><i>Magick::MontageFramed</i></a>.</p> |
| <h3 align="center"><a name="PlainMontages"></a>Plain Montages</h3> |
| <p><a name="Magick::Montage"></a><i>Magick::Montage</i> is the base class to provide montage options and provides methods to set all options required to render simple (unframed) montages. See <a href="Montage.html#Magick::MontageFramed"><i>Magick::MontageFramed</i></a>if you would like to create a framed montage.</p> |
| <p>Unframed thumbnails consist of four components: the thumbnail image, the thumbnail border, an optional thumbnail shadow, and an optional thumbnail label area.</p> |
