/**
	This plugin implements the Image/Stacks/Combine command.
	It combines two stacks (w1xh1xd1 and w2xh2xd2) to create a new
	w1+w2 x max(h1,h2) x max(d1,d2) stack. For example, a 256x256x40
	and a 256x256x30 stack would be combined into one 512x256x40 stack.
	If "Vertical" is checked, create a new max(w1+w2) x (h1+h2) x max(d1,d2) stack.
	Unused areas in the combined stack are filled with the background color.
