## Combining Images - Step by Step
52+
53+
To combine images, you can follow these simple steps:
54+
55+
### Step 1: Create a New Project
56+
57+
Create a new project or open an existing one in Visual Studio.
58+
59+
### Step 2: Set the Data Directory
60+
61+
Define the data directory where your image files are located. Replace `"Your Document Directory"` with the actual path to your image files:
62+
63+
```csharp
64+
string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
65+
```
66+
67+
### Step 3: Initialize Image Options
68+
69+
Create an instance of `JpegOptions` to set various properties:

## Complete Source Code
1271
```csharp
13-
public static void Run()
14-
{
15-
Console.WriteLine("Running example CombineImages");
16-
// The path to the documents directory.
17-
string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
18-
// Create an instance of JpegOptions and set its various properties
19-
JpegOptions imageOptions = new JpegOptions();
20-
// Create an instance of FileCreateSource and assign it to Source property
21-
imageOptions.Source = new FileCreateSource(dataDir + "Two_images_result_out.bmp", false);
22-
// Create an instance of Image and define canvas size
23-
using (var image = Image.Create(imageOptions, 600, 600))
24-
{
25-
// Create and initialize an instance of Graphics, Clear the image surface with white color and Draw Image
26-
var graphics = new Graphics(image);
27-
graphics.Clear(Color.White);
28-
graphics.DrawImage(Image.Load(dataDir + "sample_1.bmp"), 0, 0, 600, 300);
29-
graphics.DrawImage(Image.Load(dataDir + "File1.bmp"), 0, 300, 600, 300);
30-
image.Save();
31-
}
32-
Console.WriteLine("Finished example CombineImages");
33-
}
72+
JpegOptions imageOptions = new JpegOptions();
3473
```
74+
75+
### Step 4: Specify the Output Image
76+
77+
Create an instance of `FileCreateSource` and assign it to the `Source` property of your `imageOptions`. This step defines the name and format of the output image:
78+
79+
```csharp
80+
imageOptions.Source = new FileCreateSource(dataDir + "Two_images_result_out.bmp", false);
81+
```
82+
83+
### Step 5: Create a New Image
84+
85+
Create an instance of `Image` and define the canvas size. The following code creates an image with a canvas size of 600x600:
86+
87+
```csharp
88+
using (var image = Image.Create(imageOptions, 600, 600))
89+
```
90+
91+
### Step 6: Add Images to the Canvas
92+
93+
Use the `Graphics` class to add and position the images on the canvas. The `DrawImage` method allows you to specify the image file, position, and dimensions for each image you want to combine:
94+
95+
```csharp
96+
var graphics = new Graphics(image);
97+
graphics.Clear(Color.White); // Clear the canvas with a white background.
98+
graphics.DrawImage(Image.Load(dataDir + "sample_1.bmp"), 0, 0, 600, 300); // First image.
99+
graphics.DrawImage(Image.Load(dataDir + "File1.bmp"), 0, 300, 600, 300); // Second image.
100+
```
101+
102+
### Step 7: Save the Combined Image
103+
104+
Finally, save the combined image:
105+
106+
```csharp
107+
image.Save();
108+
```
109+
110+
