Merge images

This node combines several input images into a single composite frame. It's useful for creating multi-camera views on a dashboard or preparing data for analysis across multiple sensors.
Use Merge images when:
- You want to display multiple camera feeds in a single widget.

⚠️ Warning
All input images must have the same aspect ratio for the merging process to work correctly.
