return(true);
}
$dst = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($src), imagesy($src));

imagedestroy($src);
$src = $dst;
return(true);
}
}
// Helper closure
$typeof = function() use($im)
{
echo 'typeof($im) = ' . (imageistruecolor($im) ? 'true color' : 'palette'), PHP_EOL;
};
// Create a palette based image
$im = imagecreate(100, 100);
$typeof();
