 <div class="doc-section">

 <p>CombineImages() combines one or more images into a single image.  The grayscale value of the pixels of each image in the sequence is assigned in order to the specified channels of the combined image.   The typical ordering would be image 1 => Red, 2 => Green, 3 => Blue, etc.</p>

 <p>The format of the CombineImages method is:</p>

 <pre class="code">
   Image *CombineImages(const Image *image,const ChannelType channel,
     ExceptionInfo *exception)
 </pre>

 <p>A description of each parameter follows:</p>

 <div class="doc-section">

 <p>GetImageAlphaChannel() returns MagickFalse if the image alpha channel is not activated.  That is, the image is RGB rather than RGBA or CMYK rather than CMYKA.</p>

 <p>The format of the GetImageAlphaChannel method is:</p>

 <pre class="code">
   MagickBooleanType GetImageAlphaChannel(const Image *image)

 <div class="doc-section">

 <p>SeparateImageChannel() separates a channel from the image and returns it as a grayscale image.  A channel is a particular color component of each pixel in the image.</p>

 <p>The format of the SeparateImageChannel method is:</p>

 <pre class="code">
   MagickBooleanType SeparateImageChannel(Image *image,
     const ChannelType channel)

	<p>CombineImages() combines one or more images into a single image. The grayscale value of the pixels of each image in the sequence is assigned in order to the specified channels of the combined image. The typical ordering would be image 1 => Red, 2 => Green, 3 => Blue, etc.</p>

	<p>The format of the CombineImages method is:</p>

	<pre class="code">
	Image CombineImages(const Image image,const ChannelType channel,
	ExceptionInfo *exception)
	</pre>

	<p>A description of each parameter follows:</p>

	<p>GetImageAlphaChannel() returns MagickFalse if the image alpha channel is not activated. That is, the image is RGB rather than RGBA or CMYK rather than CMYKA.</p>

	<p>The format of the GetImageAlphaChannel method is:</p>

	<p>SeparateImageChannel() separates a channel from the image and returns it as a grayscale image. A channel is a particular color component of each pixel in the image.</p>

	<p>The format of the SeparateImageChannel method is:</p>

	<pre class="code">
	MagickBooleanType SeparateImageChannel(Image *image,
