17 <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."/>

156
157<p>CompositeImageChannel() returns the second image composited onto the first at the specified offset, using the specified composite method.</p></ol>
158
159<p>The format of the CompositeImageChannel method is:</p>
160
161<pre class="code">
162 MagickBooleanType CompositeImage(Image *image,
163 const CompositeOperator compose,Image *composite_image,
164 const long x_offset,const long y_offset)
165 MagickBooleanType CompositeImageChannel(Image *image,
166 const ChannelType channel,const CompositeOperator compose,
167 Image *composite_image,const long x_offset,const long y_offset)
168</pre>
169
170<p>A description of each parameter follows:</p></ol>
171
172<h5>image</h5>
173<ol><p>the destination image, modified by he composition</p></ol>
174
175<h5>channel</h5>
176<ol><p>the channel.</p></ol>
177
178<h5>compose</h5>
179<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>
180
181<h5>composite_image</h5>
182<ol><p>the composite (source) image.</p></ol>
183
184<h5>x_offset</h5>
185<ol><p>the column offset of the composited image.</p></ol>
186
187<h5>y_offset</h5>
188<ol><p>the row offset of the composited image.</p></ol>
189
190<p>Extra Controls from Image meta-data in 'composite_image' (artifacts)</p></ol>
191
192<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>
193
194<p>Compose methods needing such arguments include "BlendCompositeOp" and "DisplaceCompositeOp".</p></ol>
195
196<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>
197
198<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>
199
200<p>Previous to IM v6.5.3-3 this was called "modify-outside-overlay"</p></ol>
