    (PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

    画一个单一像素

    说明

    imagesetpixel(resource $image,int $x,int $y,int $color): bool

    imagesetpixel()$image图像中用$color颜色在$x$y坐标(图像左上角为 0,0)上画一个点。

    参见imagecreatetruecolor()和imagecolorallocate()。

    This code does generate a RGB-cube (with or without borders). Because its only rendering the visible pixels its clearly fast (approx 1 up to 2 seconds). With changing the $order-variable you can see the cube from different perspectives. Entering double or tribble values (like rrg or ggg) will give you other specs of single channels. Send any sugestions to my email.

    It IS posible to "delete" pixels from an image in PHP natively - the key-function is imageAlphaBlending:
    <?php
    $image = imageCreateTrueColor(101, 101);
    imageSaveAlpha($image, true);
    # draw a red cycle with alpha blending
    $red = imageColorAllocateAlpha($image, 255, 0, 0, 30);
    imageFilledEllipse($image, 50, 50, 100, 100, $red);
    # disable alpha blending for deletion
    imageAlphaBlending($image, false);
    # paint with a complete opaque color
    $trans = imageColorAllocateAlpha($image, 0, 0, 0, 127);
    # you can clear every shape you like
    imageFilledRectangle($image, 30, 30, 70, 70, $trans);
    # enable alpha blending again
    imageAlphaBlending($image, true);
    # draw a green rectangle with alpha blending
    $green = imageColorAllocateAlpha($image, 0, 255, 0, 40);
    imageFilledRectangle($image, 40, 20, 90, 80, $green);
    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    imagePNG($image);
    ?>
    
    Given an image $src and mask $mask, this applies the mask over the image, using different levels of transparency properly.
    <?php
    function image_mask(&$src, &$mask) {
      imagesavealpha($src, true);
      imagealphablending($src, false);
      // scan image pixels
      for ($x = 0; $x < imagesx($src); $x++) {
        for ($y = 0; $y < imagesy($src); $y++) {
          $mask_pix = imagecolorat($mask,$x,$y);
          $mask_pix_color = imagecolorsforindex($mask, $mask_pix);
          if ($mask_pix_color['alpha'] < 127) {
            $src_pix = imagecolorat($src,$x,$y);
            $src_pix_array = imagecolorsforindex($src, $src_pix);
            imagesetpixel($src, $x, $y, imagecolorallocatealpha($src, $src_pix_array['red'], $src_pix_array['green'], $src_pix_array['blue'], 127 - $mask_pix_color['alpha']));
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ?>
    If your mask is reversed, change 127 - $mask_pix_color['alpha'] with just $mask_pix_color['alpha']

    My last note doesn't do alpha properly, so make the following change to the appropriate lines:
    $r = ($word & 0x7C00) >> 7;
    $g = ($word & 0x03E0) >> 2;
    $b = ($word & 0x001F) << 3;
    $a = ($word & 0x8000) ? 127 : 0;
    $color = imagecolorallocatealpha($image, $r, $g, $b, $a);
    imagesetpixel($image, $x, $y, $color);
    Here's my stab at the imagecreatefromtga function. I used code from send at mail dot 2aj dot net and others below as a basis, and added support for targa 16, targa 24 and targa 32. However, I only support uncompressed RBG data type as that's the only one I need. (I removed the return_array feature since you can simply use imagesx() and imagesy() to get the image size).
    Please note that I have not tested this with a targa 16 since I don't have one handy at the moment.

    In reply to weitheism at gmail.com:
    You should probably have used ImageAlphaBlending($image, false); in your early attempts. This way any paint/fill operation replaces the alpha value of the destination.
    This code converts a block of text to an image so that each character in the block defines one pixel in the image and each line in the block (delimited by \n's) builds one whole row of pixels in the image.
    Usage: Place a 0 to create a white pixel. Place a 1 to create a black pixel.
    Example: Entering the following digits (including the line breaks) will create a 3x3 square with a 1-pixel white border.
    00000
    01110
    01110

    The example above diden't work, because of some errors.
    This should work and it's also faster because there is only one 512*512 loop. (but it is still very slow)
    <?
    $filename="lena.raw";
    $width=512;
    $height=512;
    $fp=fopen($filename, "r");
    $contents=fread($fp,filesize($filename));
    fclose($fp);
    $image=imagecreate($width,$height);
    // create greyscale palette because the image is limited to 256 colors
    for ($i=0;$i<256;$i++){ ImageColorAllocate($image,$i,$i,$i);}
    // This is slow, but probably the only way
    for ($i=0;$i<512;$i++){
      for ($j=0;$j<512;$j++){  
      imagesetpixel ($image,$i,$j,ord($contents[$i+$j*512]));
      }
    }
    imagepng($image,"result.png");
    imagedestroy($image);
    echo "<img src=result.png></img>";

    Note that you don't have to use imagecolorallocate to draw pixels. Instead, you can assign colors directly, which is much faster as well:
    <?php
    imagesetpixel($img, $x, $y, $r << 16 | $g << 8 | $b);
    ?>
    
    imagesetpixel ($image, $x, $y, IMG_COLOR_BRUSHED);

    @ Scott Evernden
    Scott, your function works great for uncompressed TGA image files, except the results for TGA 32 with alpha don't come out right, at least in my tests. If the alpha is all white, the resulting image comes out with a red tint. If black, the resulting image has a blue tint. I don't know how to make it just ignore the alpha, but that would be handy...
    This code generate a simple colortable - not a very acurate one (it would be good to define fade of color - more fading)

    I looked, but was unable to find any example code to watermark an image with a watermark that contained alpha transparency. So the following class does just that. As a parameter, it takes 2 image objects: the main image, and the watermark image (which can be a gif, png, whatever) - and optionally, an alpha setting (0-100% alpha for the watermark image). It then creates and returns a new image with the alpha-transparent watermark imposed, center-aligned, over the larger image.
    <?php
    class watermark{
      function create_watermark( $dst_img, $watermark_img, $alpha = 100 ) {

        $dst_img_h  = imagesy( $dst_img );

        $watermark_img_h  = imagesy( $watermark_img );

        $return_img  = imagecreatetruecolor( $dst_img_w, $dst_img_h );
    #    $return_img  = imagecreate( $dst_img_w, $dst_img_h );
        
        # determine center position coordinates
        $dst_img_min_x  = floor( ( $dst_img_w / 2 ) - ( $watermark_img_w / 2 ) );
        $dst_img_max_x  = ceil( ( $dst_img_w / 2 ) + ( $watermark_img_w / 2 ) );
        $dst_img_min_y  = floor( ( $dst_img_h / 2 ) - ( $watermark_img_h / 2 ) );

    I was looking for a way to actually DELETE pixels or squares or parts of an image from an image resource, and at first I thought imagesetpixel would do the trick. Unfortunately, it merely paints over that one pixel, and as far as I knew, php didn't have any native way of deleting sections out of your image - so this little method should take care of deleting rectangular parts of your pictures!
    function deleteRectangle(&$oldImage,$leftX,$leftY,$rightX,$rightY)
      {
        // Since php has no native way of delete parts of images
        // We have to divide the image into four different parts and then copy them manually to a new
        // image
        
        $xSize = imagesx($oldImage);
        $ySize = imagesy($oldImage);
        
        // Divides the image into four sections to copy
        $imagesection = array();
        $imagesection[] = array(0,0,$leftX,$ySize);
        $imagesection[] = array($leftX,0,$rightX+1,$leftY);
        $imagesection[] = array($leftX,$rightY+1,$rightX+1,$ySize);
        $imagesection[] = array($rightX+1,0,$xSize,$ySize);
        
        // Create the new, copied image
        $newImage = imagecreatetruecolor($xSize,$ySize);
        // Vital for transparency
        imagesavealpha($newImage,true);
        
        // Fills the background a transparent color
        $transparentBackground = imagecolorallocatealpha($newImage,255,255,255,127);
        imagefill($newImage,0,0,$transparentBackground);
        
        // Copies each of the four imagesections into their respective old positions
        for($i = 0;$i<count($imagesection);$i++)
    imagecopyresampled($newImage,$oldImage, $imagesection[$i][0],$imagesection[$i][1], $imagesection[$i][0],$imagesection[$i][1], $imagesection[$i][2]-$imagesection[$i][0], $imagesection[$i][3]-$imagesection[$i][1], $imagesection[$i][2]-$imagesection[$i][0], $imagesection[$i][3]-$imagesection[$i][1]);
        
        // Alternately you can cycle through each pixel in an image and see if that pixel is an the area
        // but that could be more intensive
        imagedestroy($oldImage);
        
        // Sets the old image equal to the new, cleared image
        $oldImage = $newImage;
      }
    It was made with a transparent background in mind, but you could easily change that by changeing imagecreatetruecolor to imagecreate and deleting the code that deals with transparency. Hope it helps!
    Here is a function that takes an image ($im) and returns it with the contrast maximised...
    <?php
    function contrast($im) {
      $brightness=0;
      $maxb=0;
      $minb=255;
      $imagesize=getimagesize($im);
      $w=$imagesize[0];
      $h=$imagesize[1];
      for ($x=0; $x<$w; $x++) {
        for ($y=0; $y<$h; $y++) {
          $rgb=imagecolorat($im, $x, $y);
          $rgb=imagecolorsforindex($im, $rgb);
          $grey=0.2125*$rgb['red']+
            0.7154*$rgb['green']+
            0.0721*$rgb['blue']; 
          $brightness+=$grey;
          if ($grey>$maxb) $maxb=$grey;
          if ($grey<$minb) $minb=$grey;
        }
      }
      $brightness=$brightness/($w*$h);
      $minb=$brightness/($brightness-$minb);
      $maxb=(255-$brightness)/($maxb-$brightness);
      $contrast=min($minb, $maxb);
      for ($x=0; $x<$w; $x++) {
        for ($y=0; $y<$h; $y++) {
          $rgb=imagecolorat($im, $x, $y);
          $rgb=imagecolorsforindex($im, $rgb);
          imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y,
            65536*floor(min($rgb['red']*$contrast, 255))+
            256*floor(min($rgb['green']*$contrast, 255))+
            floor(min($rgb['blue']*$contrast, 255)));
        }
      }
      return ($im);
    }
    ?>
    An example of usage might be:
    <?php
    $imagefile="/path/filename";
    $image=imagecreatefromjpeg($imagefile);
    $image=contrast($image);
    imagejpeg($image, $imagefile);
    ?>
    
    This snippet creates a gradient images depending on the value of RGB components. Gradients allow your page to have a shadow effect.
    <?php
    try{
      if(!$image=imagecreatetruecolor(50,10)){
       throw new Exception('Error creating image');
      }
      
      for($y=0;$y<10;++$y)
       {
       $color=imagecolorallocate($image, 75+($y*5),75+($y*11),75+($y*9));
       for($x=0;$x<50;++$x)
         {
         imagesetpixel($image,$x,$y,$color); 
         }
       }
       
      //header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
      imagejpeg($image,'footerShadow.jpg');
      // free memory
      imagedestroy($image);
      
    }
    catch(Exception $e){
      echo $e->getMessage();
      exit();
    }
    ?>
