Hi Friends,

Here we going to discuss about some of the Image Magick functions which is commonly used in fore ground. There is no command line functionality here.

We already discussed few functions in same thread like

Imagick_readimage(): To read any image

Imagick_writeimage(): To save any image

Imagick_sample(): To create a thumbnail of any image with specified size.

Imagick_setdpi(): To set the resolution of the image.

Imagick_convert: TO convert the image type like JPG to PNG etc.

Now here we going to discuss about create multiple image with same class object. In many place we like to use list of image without creating some many instance and want to use that some concept like stack.

Magick provide a option like push and pop.

To insert many images in one object we can use the method called

imagick_pushlist($vConstantHandler,$vDifferentHand ler);

Thanks

Hi,

To write a Text on any image there is some set of functions we need to use to implement on any image with text.

imagick_setfontface() - Set Font style
imagick_setfillcolor() - Set Font Color
imagick_setfontsize() - Set Font Size
imagick_drawannotation() - Set X and Y coordinate with desired text

Example is as follow:
Imagick_setfontface( $handle, "Palatino-Bold" )
Imagick_setfillcolor( $handle, "#990000" )
Imagick_setfontsize( $handle, 50 )
Imagick_drawannotation( $handle, 325, 100, "Example Text" )

Thanks

hi
I have a problem in image rotation. I have one orginial image like
. Now i did small modification and rotated this to
240 degree and saved this with new image name like . I have no problem till this but once i try to rotate 120 degree more on already rotated image i got a problem in image size.

Original image area reduced and it contained more white area in new created image.

This problem didn't occur while i rotate 90,180,270,360. Otherthan that value it affect the image. So can anybody help to solve this issue.

How can we get the properties (size, type, width, height) of an image using php image functions?

Varghese,

If you rotate an already rotated image then, it will rotate along with the white space only. Its not a bug. the functionality is like that. If you want to avoid this problem then you have to rotate the total angle from the original image (provided if you know the total angle to rotate from the original image.).

hi Sabari
use the function getimagesize(imagepath) -> Returns an array with 5 elements.

Index 0 and 1 contains respectively the width and the height of the image.

Note: Some formats may contain no image or may contain multiple images. In these cases, getimagesize() might not be able to properly determine the image size. getimagesize() will return zero for width and height in these cases.

Index 2 is one of the IMAGETYPE_XXX constants indicating the type of the image.

Index 3 is a text string with the correct height="yyy" width="xxx" string that can be used directly in an IMG tag.

Index 4 is mime is the correspondant MIME type of the image

Hi Jeyaseelan,

Hi,
we can write text as image using any of the library like GD, Imagick, can u say for gif, & jpeg which library is good in performance .
Regards,
vivekanandan

Hi vivekanandan,

Imagemagick is much better when compared to GD. Image quality will be better in imagemagick since it uses the same DPI of the original image, also the image creation time is lesser. The only thing is image size will be little bit higher when compared to images created from GD.

Hi All

how to create text with effects (border etc.,) using any one image libraries?

Also, is there a way we can align the text using imagemagick, like center, right, left and justify using imagemagick library.

Hi Anand,

We had implemented to align the text using imagemagick linux command(Background process). It's working fine. Try the following command to align the text in the bottom center of the image.

$vFont = "fonts/brushscript_bt.ttf";
$vText = addslashes("Happy New Year 2007");
$vInsertFile ="1mbpic_28.jpg";

exec ("convert $vInsertFile -font '$vFont' -fill '#FFFFFF' -density 70 -pointsize 45 -gravity south -annotate 0 \"$vText\" new_one.jpg");

Thanks for ur reply senthil kumar,

can you explain a bit more on what that function actually does and whats the need of -gravity south and -annotate and the purpose of these parameters in the function.
