%  adjusted to match the virtual canvas offsets of each layer. As such the

%
%  Composition uses given x and y offsets, as the 'origin' location of the
%  source images virtual canvas (not the real image) allowing you to compose a
%  list of 'layer images' into the destiantioni images.  This makes it well
%  sutiable for directly composing 'Clears Frame Animations' or 'Coaleased
%  Animations' onto a static or other 'Coaleased Animation' destination image
%  list.  GIF disposal handling is not looked at.

%  single image remaining), that image is repeatally composed with all the
%  images in the other image list.  Either the source or destination lists may
%  be the single image, for this situation.

%  MergeImageLayers() composes all the image layers from the current given
%  image onward to produce a single image of the merged layers.
%
%  The inital canvas's size depends on the given LayerMethod, and is
%  initialized using the first images background color.  The images
%  are then compositied onto that image in sequence using the given
%  composition that has been assigned to each individual image.
%
%  The format of the MergeImageLayers is:
%
%      Image *MergeImageLayers(const Image *image,
%        const LayerMethod method, ExceptionInfo *exception)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o image: the image list to be composited together
%
%    o method: the method of selecting the size of the initial canvas.
%
%        MergeLayer: Merge all layers onto a canvas just large enough
%           to hold all the actual images. The virtual canvas of the
%           first image is preserved but otherwise ignored.
%
%        FlattenLayer: Use the virtual canvas size of first image.
%           Images which fall outside this canvas is clipped.
%           This can be used to 'fill out' a given virtual canvas.
%
%        MosaicLayer: Start with the virtual canvas of the first image,
%           enlarging left and right edges to contain all images.
%           Images with negative offsets will be clipped.
%
%        TrimBoundsLayer: Determine the overall bounds of all the image
%           layers just as in "MergeLayer", then adjust the the canvas
%           and offsets to be relative to those bounds, without overlaying
%           the images.
%
%           WARNING: a new image is not returned, the original image
%           sequence page data is modified instead.
%
%    o exception: return any errors or warnings in this structure.
