RE: [PHP] using transparent images in a style

More info in case this helps: I tried taking out the transparencies and changing the $this->trans to $this->black and I'm still getting a solid line of the wrong color green (the correct green is in a different place, so it's obvious this is wrong). Do you think that if I included the picture as a .bmp it would help? -----Original Message----- From: Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS) Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 10:41 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] using transparent images in a style Hi. I'm trying to make lines based on dots and dashes and I need the colors in the middle to be transparent. This is all done within a class, that's why there are "$this->"s all over. $t = ImageColorAllocate($this->im,1,1,1); $this->trans = ImageColorTransparent($this->im,$t); $this->style = array($this->color,$this->trans,$this->color,$this->trans,$this->trans,$this ->trans,$this->trans,$this->trans); ImageSetStyle($this->im, $this->style); //these are all defined and it is drawing the line, just not doing the transparencies ImageLine($this->im,($widthPoint+(($indexstart)*$this->xscale)),$starty,($wi dthPoint+(($indexend)*$this->xscale)), $endy, IMG_COLOR_STYLED); I got this code out of the manual and I also tried using IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT instead of $this->trans in the style array. Not only do I not get any form of a dotted or dashed line (I added all those transparents so I could see openings in the line) but the line color changed from a tealish green to a sick green. I'm using ImageCreate instead of ImageCreateTrueColor. Has anyone run into similar problems? Thanks! -Natalie Natalie S. Leotta Information Management Services, Inc.
