How to set the tile image for filling using imagesettile() function in PHP?

imagesettle() is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to set the tile image for filling. It sets the image to be used by all-region filling functions like imagefill() and imagefilledpolygon() when filling with a special color IMG_COLOR_TILED.

We can say that a tile is an image that is used to fill an area with a repeated pattern. We can use any GD image as a tile.

imagesettile() takes two parameters: $image and $tile.

• $image − Holds a GD image.

• $tile − The $tile parameter is used to set the image resource as a tile.

Return Values

imagesettile() returns True on success and False on failure.
