IMAGECREATE(3) 1 IMAGECREATE(3)
imagecreate - Create a new palette based image
SYNOPSIS
resource imagecreate (int $width, int $height)
DESCRIPTION
imagecreate(3) returns an image identifier representing a blank image of specified size.
In general, we recommend the use of imagecreatetruecolor(3) instead of imagecreate(3) so that image processing occurs on the highest qual-
ity image possible. If you want to output a palette image, then imagetruecolortopalette(3) should be called immediately before saving the
image with imagepng(3) or imagegif(3).
PARAMETERS
o $width
- The image width.
o $height
- The image height.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an image resource identifier on success, FALSE on errors.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Creating a new GD image stream and outputting an image.
<?php
header("Content-Type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(110, 20)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
