In this lab, we created a function called "copyInto", which takes 2 images, and copies one image on top of another. We also made a program that utilizes the copyInto function to make a matted image, with a border of any given color, which is shown below. Finally, we made a program that utilizes copyInto and scaling, which we used to make an image a quarter of it's original size, and tile it four times across a canvas with the same dimensions as the original picture.

For this lab, I used a picture I took of some choir-children statues at Salisbury Cathedral, in Salisbury, United Kingdom. Here's the original picture.



Here is the matted image, with a white border (though the color of the border can be anything, since it's a parameter in the function).



Like I said before, we also created an image that had the same dimensions as the original picture, but four copies of the original picture tiled within those dimensions. This effect is shown below.
