"-f file " file for offsets
"-M " initialise to MAGIC.DESCRIPTION
"album" combines a set of images into an album. With -f option the layout of the image is determined from the'offsetsfile', amd the size of the output image is specified after the options. The format of this file should be a single comment line followed by x,y pairs to define location of bottom left corners of the images to be pasted. Without the -f option, the grid spacing will be equal to the dimensions of the first image (unless you override this with -d option) and the images will be placed on a nx by ny grid.
The output image is initialised to zero, images are painted on sequentially, erasing any previously painted values, except that MAGIC values are not painted. Us the -M option to intialise to MAGIC instead. AUTHOR
