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

<p>The format of the CompositeImage method is:</p>

<pre class="text">
MagickBooleanType CompositeImage(Image *image,
  const Image *source_image,const CompositeOperator compose,
  const MagickBooleanType clip_to_self,const ssize_t x_offset,
  const ssize_t y_offset,ExceptionInfo *exception)

<dd>the source image. </dd>

<dd> </dd>
<dt>compose</dt>
<dd>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. </dd>

<dd> </dd>
<dt>clip_to_self</dt>
<dd>set to MagickTrue to limit composition to area composed. </dd>

<dd> Extra Controls from Image meta-data in 'image' (artifacts) </dd>

<dd> 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. </dd>

<dd> Compose methods needing such arguments include "BlendCompositeOp" and "DisplaceCompositeOp". </dd>

<p>TextureImage() repeatedly tiles the texture image across and down the image canvas.</p>

<p>The format of the TextureImage method is:</p>

<pre class="text">
MagickBooleanType TextureImage(Image *image,const Image *texture,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)
</pre>

<p>A description of each parameter follows:</p>
