combining images

[Joel Hammer]

montage works pretty well for this. The only problem is that each individual
image is the same size as all the other images. I'd like to combine images
of unequal size, and keep them that way in the final image.

What I am doing is generating images (photos) and want to have a set of
labels and images (arrows and the like) that can be quickly cut and pasted
into the photo. It might be most convenient for the user to have the labels
and arrows in the same image to allow easy cut and pasting, then, when done,
just crop the photo.

This will evolve over several weeks!
