18 <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

164<p>CompositeImageChannel() returns the second image composited onto the first at the specified offset, using the specified composite method.</p></ol>

180<ol><p>the destination image, modified by he composition</p></ol>
181
182<h5>channel</h5>
183<ol><p>the channel.</p></ol>
184
185<h5>compose</h5>
186<ol><p>This operator affects how the composite is applied to the image. The operators and how they are utilized are listed here http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG12/#compositing.</p></ol>

192<ol><p>the column offset of the composited image.</p></ol>

196
197<p>Extra Controls from Image meta-data in 'composite_image' (artifacts)</p></ol>
198
199<p>o "compose:args" A string containing extra numerical arguments for specific compose methods, generally expressed as a 'geometry' or a comma separated list of numbers.</p></ol>
200
201<p>Compose methods needing such arguments include "BlendCompositeOp" and "DisplaceCompositeOp".</p></ol>
202
203<p>o "compose:outside-overlay" Modify how the composition is to effect areas not directly covered by the 'composite_image' at the offset given. Normally this is dependant on the 'compose' method, especially Duff-Porter methods.</p></ol>
204
205<p>If set to "false" then disable all normal handling of pixels not covered by the composite_image. Typically used for repeated tiling of the composite_image by the calling API.</p></ol>
206
207<p>Previous to IM v6.5.3-3 this was called "modify-outside-overlay"</p></ol>
