note 42243 added to function.imagecopymerge

This function is intended to serve as an example for the "imageCopyMerge"-"ImageCopyResized", "ImageColorTransparent" functions. I hope it will help. This function pick an image, square cut it resampled at the size requested and finishing merge the result with another one to obtain a circular image result. I have a problem to obtain an thumbnail that respect the colors and at the same time where cutted in a circular form, I hope this solution can gives you a clue to obtain a free form images, I use this one also to create multicutted images. <?php $generalsrc="$image"; //the image to resample, resize and iconaize $final_thumbwidth ="125"; $final_thumbheight ="125"; $abc = imagecreatefromjpeg("$generalsrc"); $def = imagecreatetruecolor($final_thumbwidth, $final_thumbheight); $src_mx = round((imagesx($abc) / 2)-"0.1"); // middle x point of the image $src_my = round((imagesy($abc) / 2)-"0.1"); // middle y point of the image $src_x = ($src_mx * 2); $src_y = ($src_my * 2); $src_sq = ($src_x >= $src_y)?$src_y:$src_x; //used to define the best size for a square cut of the image $pl = ($src_x >= $src_y)?"1":"2"; //define if the image is portait or landscape $strt_pntx = ($pl=="1")?round(($src_my / 2)-"0. 1"):"0"; //defines the x start point $strt_pnty = ($pl=="2")?round(($src_mx / 2)-"0. 1"):"0"; //defines the y start point imagecopyresized($def, $abc, 0, 0, $strt_pntx, $strt_pnty, $final_thumbwidth, $final_thumbheight, $src_sq, $src_sq); $overlay_img = imagecreatefromPNG("circle_125.png"); //NOTE use png for this $src_w = "ImageSX($overlay_img)"; $src_h = "ImageSY($overlay_img)"; $can_img = imagecreatetruecolor($src_w, $src_h); $black = ImageColorAllocate ($overlay_img, 0, 0, 0); ImageColorTransparent($overlay_img , $black); imagecopy($can_img, $def, 0,0,0,0, $src_w, $src_h); imagecopymerge($can_img, $overlay_img , 0,0,0,0, ImageSX($overlay_img), ImageSY($overlay_img),100); //Imagecopy won't work, you must used imagecopymerge ImageJPEG($can_img,"merge_$generalsrc",100); imagedestroy($overlay_img); imagedestroy($can_img); ImageDestroy($abc); ImageDestroy($def); print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>test</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> original:<hr><img src=\"$generalsrc\" width=\"300\"><br><br><br>new:<hr><img src=\"merge_$generalsrc\"> <br>width = $src_x <br>height = $src_y <br>mdlw = $src_mx <br>mdlh = $src_my <br>sqr = $src_sq <br>pl = $pl <br>start point x = $strt_pntx <br>start point y = $strt_pnty </BODY></HTML>"; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopymerge.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42243 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42243&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42243&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
