=======

This example shows how to make a :ref:`montage` of a 3D image.
The montage shows multiple 2D slices of the 3D image in a single view.

	def montage():
		"""
		Demonstrates creation of a montage from a 3D image.

		# Read the 3D image
		img = pi.read(input_file())

		# Create empty image for the montage
		montage = pi.newimage(img.get_data_type())

		# Make the montage, 4x3 slices, scaled to 0.5 of
		# original size
		pi.montage(img, montage, 4, 3, 0.5)

		# Save the output
		pi.writetif(montage, output_file('montage'))
