Re: ext/gd adding imagecompare

Hi David, > It seems to be the opposite regarding his proposition gdImageCompare(im1, im2) & > GD_CMP_IMAGE. Then yes you are right, we are losing the specifics. If you want to figure out how the > image 1 and image 2 differ, you need to use the rest of the api e.g. imagecolortransparent and all > that jazz ... A bit too complex I feel. Thanks for the explanation. What I think is important to note here is that there are two types of users who will use this feature: 1. Users who simply want to know if there is a match (i.e. a bool return value is sufficient) 2. Users who want to know the details of the differences The object return type that Kamil mentioned was something I was considering as well, but I was concerned that it would be a bit verbose for type 1 users and would necessarily incur the overhead of object creation. (This is probably an unnecessary concern, as image analysis takes much longer.) Regards, Saki
