imagefilledrectangle

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

imagefilledrectangle — Draw a filled rectangle

Description

bool imagefilledrectangle ( resource $image , int $x1 , int $y1 , int $x2 , int $y2 , int $color )

Creates a rectangle filled with color in the given image starting at point 1 and ending at point 2. 0, 0 is the top left corner of the image.

Parameters

image: An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
x1: x-coordinate for point 1.
y1: y-coordinate for point 1.
x2: x-coordinate for point 2.
y2: y-coordinate for point 2.
color: The fill color. A color identifier created with imagecolorallocate().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example #1 imagefilledrectangle() usage


<?php
// Create a 55x30 image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(55, 30);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);

// Draw a white rectangle
imagefilledrectangle($im, 4, 4, 50, 25, $white);

// Save the image
imagepng($im, './imagefilledrectangle.png');
imagedestroy($im);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

I wanted to clear an image, and set it to full transparent.


imagefilledrectangle() seems to ignore alpha channel and alpha blending.


Use imagefill() instead:





<?php


$w = imagesx($final);


$h = imagesy($final);


$grande = imagecreatetruecolor($w, $h);





// Alpha blending on to use channel alpha


imagealphablending($grande, true);


// Allocate a transparent color and fill the new image with it.


// Without this the image will have a black background instead


// of being transparent.


$transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($grande, 0, 0, 0, 127);


// transparent alpha will be _ignored_:


imagefilledrectangle($grande, 0, 0, $w, $h, $transparent);


// ok, transparent will be used and set whole alpha channel to transparent:


imagefill($grande, 0, 0, $transparent);

It looks like there are waves beetween the points, but it's straight.



<?php

$maxwert = 300;

$size = 10;

$img = imagecreatetruecolor($maxwert, $maxwert);

imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);



   for($y=0;$y<$maxwert;$y += $size){

     for($x=0;$x<$maxwert;$x+=$size){

      $r = rand(0,255);

      $g = rand(0,255);

      $b = rand(0,255);

      $color = imagecolorallocate($img, $r, $g, $b);

      

      imagefilledrectangle ($img, $x, $y, $x+$size ,$y+$size, $color);

     

     }

The examples in function imagettfbbox() gave me many problems because of misunderstand of how the text is positionned in the box.



So I did a new example:

- writing a text

- in the correct position in its box

- with a padding around



Enjoy !

Mike



<?



// some settings

    $angle = 0;

    $text = 'Ühg 0123456789';

    $font_face = dirname(__FILE__).'/verdana.ttf'; // put the file in the same directory

    $font_size = 9; //(int) pixels in GD 1, or points in GD 2



// retrieves box frame

    $box = imagettfbbox($font_size, 0, $font_face, $text);

    $bottom_left_x = $box[0]; // used below

    $bottom_left_y = $box[1]; // used below

    $bottom_right_x = $box[2]; // used below

    $top_right_y = $box[5];

    $top_left_x = $box[6];

    $top_left_y = $box[7]; // used below



// define width and height of the text box

    $box_w = abs($bottom_left_x) + abs($bottom_right_x);

// add padding

    $padding_x = 5;

    $padding_y = 5;

Thanks terereese. it took me over two hours to figure that one out.

it worked locally: imagefilledrectangle(imagresource, int x1, int x2, int y1, inty2, color)



BUT remote on my provider only this worked: imagefilledrectangle(imagresource, int x1, int y2, int x1, inty1, color)



Any ideas why and where?

I would like to inform developers about a problem I encountered when trying to use imagefilledrectangle.



I noted that the order in which the start and end y coordinates are listed is extremely important.

as in the statements below.

if($this->d_values[$i]['unit_value'] < 0)

imagefilledrectangle($this->img,$position_x, $start_y , $end_x, $end_y ,$d_color);            

else                

imagefilledrectangle($this->img, $position_x,$ end_y , $end_x, $start_y,$d_colour);            

            



Thanks

// The image must be in truecolor mode!!

    function gradient_region($img, $x, $y, $width, $height,$src_color, $dest_color=0){

        $src_alpha = ($src_color) >> 24;

As of PHP 5, it seems to be no longer necessary to draw the rectangle from the upper left to the lower right corner. This led me into big trouble porting a script developed under PHP 5 to PHP 4.

If you want to draw a rectangle with rounded corners, you can use this simple function... 

Rectangle starts at x1y1 and ends at x2y2. $radius defines radius of circled corner. 



<?



function ImageRectangleWithRoundedCorners(&$im, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $radius, $color) {

// draw rectangle without corners

imagefilledrectangle($im, $x1+$radius, $y1, $x2-$radius, $y2, $color);

imagefilledrectangle($im, $x1, $y1+$radius, $x2, $y2-$radius, $color);

// draw circled corners

imagefilledellipse($im, $x1+$radius, $y1+$radius, $radius*2, $radius*2, $color);

imagefilledellipse($im, $x2-$radius, $y1+$radius, $radius*2, $radius*2, $color);

imagefilledellipse($im, $x1+$radius, $y2-$radius, $radius*2, $radius*2, $color);

imagefilledellipse($im, $x2-$radius, $y2-$radius, $radius*2, $radius*2, $color);

}

As stated above, it needs to go from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. Just use this to flip it if neccessary:



// flip them if neccessary (x3, y3 are temp vars)

if($x1 > $x2) { $x3 = $x2; $x2 = $x1; $x1 = $x3; }

if($y1 > $y2) { $y3 = $y2; $y2 = $y1; $y1 = $y3; }

Important quirk to note:





While imagerectangle will allow you to use a different order of your coordinates (such as bottom-left to upper-right), imagefilledrectangle will only work correctly if you use top-left to bottom-right as indicated in the docs.

A different kind of rating bar, using michal's rounded corners function :) I saw this type of rating bar somewhere and thought it looked cool, so the 'design' is a complete ripoff.



Also, note that it scales quite well, from tiny 3x3 pixel dots to huge 300x300 pixel blocks. (Man am I proud of this thing.. well, enjoy!)
