combine {EBImage} | R Documentation

## Combine images

### Description

Merges images to create image sequences.

### Usage

    combine(x, y, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | An `Image` object, an array, or a list containing `Image` objects and arrays.
`y` | An `Image` object or an array.
`...` | `Image` objects or arrays.

### Details

The function `combine` uses `abind` to merge multi-dimensional arrays along the dimension depending on the color mode of `x`. If `x` is a `Grayscale` image or an array, image objects are combined along the third dimension, whereas when `x` is a `Color` image they are combined along the fourth dimension, leaving room on the third dimension for color channels.

### Value

An `Image` object or an array.

### See Also

The method `abind` provides a more flexible interface which allows to specify the dimension along which to combine the images.

### Examples

      ## combination of color images
      img = readImage(system.file("images", "sample-color.png", package="EBImage"))[257:768,,]
      x = combine(img, flip(img), flop(img))
      display(x, all=TRUE)

      ## Blurred images
      x = resize(img, 128, 128)
      xt = list()
      for (t in seq(0.1, 5, len=9)) xt=c(xt, list(gblur(x, s=t)))
      xt = combine(xt)
      display(xt, title='Blurred images', all=TRUE)
