a shortcut for basic dashed lines, making it easy to adjust the lengths:
<?php
$length1 = 20;
$length2 = 10;
$style = array_merge(array_fill(0, $length1, $red), array_fill(0, $length2, $w));
imagesetstyle($im, $style);
?>
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7)
imagesetstyle — Set the style for line drawing
$image
, array $style
) : bool
imagesetstyle() sets the style to be used by all
line drawing functions (such as imageline()
and imagepolygon()) when drawing with the special
color IMG_COLOR_STYLED
or lines of images with color
IMG_COLOR_STYLEDBRUSHED
.
image
An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
style
An array of pixel colors. You can use the
IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT
constant to add a
transparent pixel.
Note that style
must not be an empty array.
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure.
Following example script draws a dashed line from upper left to lower right corner of the canvas:
Example #1 imagesetstyle() example
<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);
$w = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
/* Draw a dashed line, 5 red pixels, 5 white pixels */
$style = array($red, $red, $red, $red, $red, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w);
imagesetstyle($im, $style);
imageline($im, 0, 0, 100, 100, IMG_COLOR_STYLED);
/* Draw a line of happy faces using imagesetbrush() with imagesetstyle */
$style = array($w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $w, $red);
imagesetstyle($im, $style);
$brush = imagecreatefrompng("http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/images/smile.happy.png");
$w2 = imagecolorallocate($brush, 255, 255, 255);
imagecolortransparent($brush, $w2);
imagesetbrush($im, $brush);
imageline($im, 100, 0, 0, 100, IMG_COLOR_STYLEDBRUSHED);
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
a shortcut for basic dashed lines, making it easy to adjust the lengths:
<?php
$length1 = 20;
$length2 = 10;
$style = array_merge(array_fill(0, $length1, $red), array_fill(0, $length2, $w));
imagesetstyle($im, $style);
?>
Watch out! If you pass imagesetstyle() an empty array as the second argument, it will crash your server!
I was messing with it just earlier and accidentally did so, and the page took a good minute to process, when my Apache server came up with the good ol' Windows 'Send Error Report' window.
To clarify, for lines where the thickness is greater than 1, the total length of the $style array needs to be an exact divisor of the length of the line.
This is because the pattern is repeated lengthways and wraps onto the second row of pixels, causing staggering to occur.
So if you have 5 red and 5 white pixels, and you want a line length of 55 pixels, either change the length to a multiple of 10, or change the dashes to, say, 6 red and 5 white.
Function to make a line with random fading:
<?php
function fading_line($img,$sx,$sy,$ex,$ey){
$r=rand(0,5);$g=rand(0,5);$b=rand(0,5);
$l=sqrt((($ex-$sx)*($ex-$sx))+(($ey-$sy)*($ey-$sy)));
for($i=0;$i<$l;$i++){
$a = array(255-((255/$l)*$i), 255,0,(255/$l)*$i/2,(255/$l)*$i,(255-((255/$l)*$i))/2);
$style[]=imagecolorallocate($img,$a[$r],$a[$g],$a[$b]);
}
imagesetstyle($img,$style);
imageline($img,$sx,$sy,$ex,$ey,IMG_COLOR_STYLED);
}
fading_line($img,10,20,490,40); // image, start x, start y, end x, end y
?>
When lines drawn with imagesetstyle seem to produce a thin white line only, make sure antialiasing is disabled.
<?
imageantialias($im, false);
$style = array($gridxcolor, $gridxcolor, IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT, IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT);
imagesetstyle($im, $style);
imageline($im, $x, 0, $x, $ymax+5, IMG_COLOR_STYLED);
imageantialias($im, true);
?>
Setstyle and Antialias don't go together.
Use this to set the style to any combination of pixels.
You can pass as many modifiers as you wish.
Use the format [num]r[red]g[green]b[blue].
For example:
$im=dashed($im,"4r255g0b0","2r0g255b0","5r0g0b255");
imageline($im, 0, 0, 600, 600, IMG_COLOR_STYLED);
function dashed($im){
$size = func_num_args();
for($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++){
$arg = func_get_arg($i);
if(!is_resource($arg)){
$r=substr($arg,strpos($arg,"r")+1,
strpos($arg,"g")-strpos($arg,"r")-1);
$g=substr($arg,strpos($arg,"g")+1,
strpos($arg,"b")-strpos($arg,"g")-1);
$b=substr($arg,strpos($arg,"b")+1,
strlen($arg)-strpos($arg,"b"));
$color = imagecolorallocate($im,$r,$g,$b);
$x = substr($arg,0,strpos($arg,"r"));
$vals[$i] = array_fill(0,$x,$color);
}
}
for($k=0;$k<count($vals)+1;$k++)
if(array_key_exists($k,$vals)) $prop=array_merge($prop,$vals[$k]);
imagesetstyle($im, $prop);
return $im;
}
Be aware that styles are applied towards the width of the line instead of linear.
To convert a style to be used for thick lines you can use the function below:
<?php
/*
ImageStyleThicken(<aStyle>,<iThickness>) --> <aThickStyle>
<aStyle> is the style array for a thickness of 1 (see imagesetstyle()).
<iThickness> is the new thickness to apply (see imagesetthickness()).
<aThickStyle> is the style array suitable for the given thickness.
*/
function ImageStyleThicken($_1,$_2) {
$a = array();
foreach ($_1 as $x) {
$i = $_2;
do $a[] = $x; while (--$i>0); }
return $a;
}
?>
