How to set the alpha blending flag to use layering effects using imaglayereffect() function in PHP?
imagelayereffect() is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to set the alpha blending flag to use layering effects. It returns True on success or False on failure.
Syntax
bool imagelayereffect($image, $effect)
Parameters
imagelayereffect() takes two different parameters: $image and $effect.
$image − This parameter is returned by the image creation function imagecreatetruecolor(). It is used to create the size of an image.
$effect − This parameter is used to set the value of blending flag, using different effect constants, which are given below −
IMG_EFFECT_REPLACE − It is used to set the pixel replacement. It is more similar to passing true to imagealphablending() function.
IMG_EFFETC_ALPHABLEND − It is used to set the normal pixel blending. This is equivalent to passing false to the imagealphablending() function.
IMG_EFFECT_NORMAL − It is the same as IMG_EFFETC_ALPHABLEND.
IMG_EFFETC_OVERLAY − By using IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY the white color background pixels will remain white and the black color background pixels will remain black but the grey background pixels will take the color of the foreground pixel.
IMG_EFFETC_MULTIPLY − This will set the multiply effect.
Return Values
imagelayereffect() returns True on success and False on failure.
Example 1
<?php // Setup an image using imagecreatetruecolor() function $img = imagecreatetruecolor(700, 300); // Set a background color imagefilledrectangle($img, 0, 0, 150, 150, imagecolorallocate($img, 122, 122, 122)); // Apply the overlay alpha blending flag imagelayereffect($img, IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY); // Draw two grey ellipses imagefilledellipse($img, 50, 50, 40, 40, imagecolorallocate($img, 100, 255, 100)); imagefilledellipse($img, 50, 50, 50, 80, imagecolorallocate($img, 100, 100, 255)); imagefilledellipse($img, 50, 50, 80, 50, imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 0, 0)); // Output image header('Content-type: image/png'); imagepng($img); imagedestroy($img); ?>
Output
.jpg)
Example 2
<?php // Setup an image using imagecreatetruecolor() function. $img = imagecreatetruecolor(700, 200); // Set a background color imagefilledrectangle($img, 0, 0, 200, 200, imagecolorallocate($img, 122, 122, 122)); // Apply the overlay alpha blending flag imagelayereffect($img, IMG_EFFECT_REPLACE); // Draw two grey ellipses imagefilledellipse($img,100,100,160,160, imagecolorallocate($img,0,0,0)); imagefilledellipse($img,100,100,140,140, imagecolorallocate($img,0,0,255)); imagefilledellipse($img,100,100,100,100, imagecolorallocate($img,255,0,0)); // Output image header('Content-type: image/png'); imagepng($img); imagedestroy($img); ?>
Output
.jpg)
