note 47027 added to function.imagettftext

Here is a generic button or menu generator script using this function. It handles automatic shading of the button, automatic size based on the length of the text and a nice looking arrow for form-buttons. The font can be downloaded from http://www.pfonts.com/s/sevenet7.ttf (and this one has Swedish characters!!) Have fun! <?php header ("Content-type: image/png"); // Fontsize $size = 8; // Buttonsize $buttonsize = 17; // Font $type = "ttf/sevenet7.ttf"; // Get the text $text = $HTTP_GET_VARS['text']; // If true show an arrow. $arrow = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['arrow']=="true"); // If true make the image a bit ligher. $over = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['over']=="true"); // Default color. $red = 99; $green = 111; $blue = 164; // Make a red button. if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['color']=="red") { $red = 211; $green = 77; $blue = 77; }; // Make a green button. if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['color']=="green") { $red = 81; $green = 211; $blue = 90; }; if ($arrow) { $extrax = 12; $extray = 1; } else { $extrax = 0; $extray = 0; }; $bbox = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $type, $text); $maxx = $bbox[2]+22+$extrax; $maxy = $buttonsize+$extray; $im = imagecreate ($maxx, $maxy); if ($over) { $red += 35; $green += 35; $blue += 35; }; $back = imagecolorallocate ($im, $red, $green, $blue); $color1 = imagecolorallocate ($im, $red+40, $green+40, $blue+40); $color2 = imagecolorallocate ($im, $red+23, $green+23, $blue+23); $color3 = imagecolorallocate ($im, $red-10, $green-10, $blue-10); $color4 = imagecolorallocate ($im, $red-30, $green-30, $blue-30); $white = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0); imageline ($im, 0, 0, $maxx, 0, $black); imageline ($im, 0, 1, $maxx, 1, $color1); imageline ($im, 0, 2, $maxx, 2, $color2); imageline ($im, 0, $maxy-3, $maxx, $maxy-3, $color3); imageline ($im, 0, $maxy-2, $maxx, $maxy-2, $color4); imageline ($im, 0, $maxy-1, $maxx, $maxy-1, $black); imageline ($im, 0, $maxy-1, $maxx, $maxy-1, $black); imageline ($im, 0, 0, 0, $maxy, $black); imageline ($im, $maxx-2, 0, $maxx-2, $maxy, $black); imageline ($im, $maxx-1, 0, $maxx-1, $maxy, $white); imageline ($im, $maxx-1, 0, $maxx-1, $maxy, $white); if ($arrow) { $sx = 6; $sy = (ceil($maxy/2))-5; imageline ($im, 0+$sx, 4+$sy, 9+$sx, 4+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 0+$sx, 5+$sy, 9+$sx, 5+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 5+$sx, 0+$sy, 9+$sx, 4+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 5+$sx, 1+$sy, 8+$sx, 4+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 4+$sx, 1+$sy, 7+$sx, 4+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 5+$sx, 9+$sy, 9+$sx, 5+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 5+$sx, 8+$sy, 8+$sx, 5+$sy, $white); imageline ($im, 4+$sx, 8+$sy, 7+$sx, 5+$sy, $white); } imagettftext ($im, $size, 0, 9+$extrax, 2+(floor($maxy/2)), -$white, $type, $text); imagepng ($im); imagedestroy ($im); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47027 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47027&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47027&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47027&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47027&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47027&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47027&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47027&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
