imagecopymerge

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5)

imagecopymerge — Copy and merge part of an image

설명

bool imagecopymerge ( resource $dst_im , resource $src_im , int $dst_x , int $dst_y , int $src_x , int $src_y , int $src_w , int $src_h , int $pct )

Copy a part of src_im onto dst_im starting at the x,y coordinates src_x , src_y with a width of src_w and a height of src_h . The portion defined will be copied onto the x,y coordinates, dst_x and dst_y .

매개변수

dst_im: Destination image link resource
src_im: Source image link resource
dst_x: x-coordinate of destination point
dst_y: y-coordinate of destination point
src_x: x-coordinate of source point
src_y: y-coordinate of source point
src_w: Source width
src_h: Source height
pct: The two images will be merged according to pct which can range from 0 to 100. When pct = 0, no action is taken, when 100 this function behaves identically to imagecopy() for pallete images, while it implements alpha transparency for true colour images.

Some highly amusing stuff: This code appears normal and is a way to cut out slices of an image randomly.



<?php

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

$width=837;

$height=771;

$origim = imagecreatefromjpeg("theimage.jpeg"); /* Attempt to open */

$imagetodisplay=imagecreate($width, $height);



for($i=0;$i<=100;$i++)

{

$xPos=rand(0,$width-9);

$yPos=rand(0,$height-9);

imagecopy($imagetodisplay, $origim, $xPos, $yPos , $xPos, $yPos , 10  , 10);

}



imagejpeg($imagetodisplay);

imagedestroy($imagetodisplay);

imagedestroy($origim);

?>



Try running this however and an omitted detail adds to the fun. Since the first colour that is defined is taken to be the background colour, we have a random colour selected from $origim as the background colour for $imagetodisplay, but this random colour is weighted according to the background image. It was a surprise (I thought the bg would be black) but I am now keeping it as it looks good.

you need to stream the image out after processing ...something like



<?php



// All of your existing code



imagepng($image);



?>

Check your header... He is false... 



<?php

header("Content-Type: image/png");

Hi

i wrote this script to add a watermark image into the bottom right a larger image. Its very basic i know but its all i need for now. It also is an easy function for noobs to grasp. It just takes an two image types as arguments



for example 

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("FILELOCATION");

$insert = imagecreatefrompng("WATERMARKFILELOCATION");

$image = image_overlap($image, $insert);



function image_overlap($background, $foreground){

   $insertWidth = imagesx($foreground);

   $insertHeight = imagesy($foreground);



   $imageWidth = imagesx($background);

   $imageHeight = imagesy($background);



   $overlapX = $imageWidth-$insertWidth-5;

   $overlapY = $imageHeight-$insertHeight-5;

               imagecolortransparent($foreground,

imagecolorat($foreground,0,0));                imagecopymerge($background,$foreground,

$overlapX,$overlapY,0,0,$insertWidth,$insertHeight,100);   return $background;

    }



It doesnt smooth the edges between the two images but it works easily.

A few corrections to the code supplied by nick at prient:



$iTemplate should be $iBackground

$iWorking should be $iSource



After fixing those two I found the script really useful, thanks!

Task: Rotate a large image, then reduce it in size and place it on a small background (i.e. as an Inset).



Problem: If you resize the image first, the rotation becomes hugely aliased...  So, it makes sense to rotate it first, then shrink it.

Unfortunately, when you resample the image, you lose the background color (at least, some of it may change), so you can no longer set transparancy as you require.  If instead you resize the image (rather than resample), again, the aliasing looks bad.



Solution:  Resize the background - make it bigger.  Then add the original (large) inset, and resize the whole thing back to normal.



<?php

/* We will shrink the inset to 25% */

$resizePercentage = 0.25;



/* Load a source image and a background */

$iSource = ImageCreateFromJpeg($source_file);

$iBackground = ImageCreateFromJpeg($background_file);



/* Do something here, such a rotate, skew etc */

...

/* Assume $iSource is still the image we want to insert onto the background */



/* Set the background color to be transparent */

$cBackground = ImageColorClosest($iSource, 255, 0, 255);

ImageColorTransparent($iSource, $cBackground);



/* Resize the background - make it huge */

$iBackground = ImageResize($iTemplate, ImageSX($iBackground ) / $resizePercentage, ImageSY($iBackground ) / $resizePercentage);

/* Place the image on the background - all full size, so no aliasing issues */

ImageCopyMerge($iBackground , $iSource, 

    ((ImageSX($iBackground ) - ImageSX($iSource)) / 2), 

    ((ImageSY($iBackground ) - ImageSY($iSource)) / 2) - 25, 0, 0, ImageSX($iWorking), ImageSY($iSource), 100);

/* Shrink the combined image... no issues with transparancy! */

$iBackground = ImageResize($iTemplate, ImageSX($iBackground ) * $resizePercentage, ImageSY($iBackground ) * $resizePercentage);



/* Output the image as a PNG */

header("Content-Type: image/png");

ImagePng($iBackground);

exit();



function ImageResize($pImage, $t_width, $t_height) {

  // Target image

  $iCanvas = @ImageCreateTrueColor($t_width, $t_height);

  // Source dimensions

  $s_width = ImageSX($pImage);

  $s_height = ImageSY($pImage);

  // Copy image

  ImageCopyResampled($iCanvas, $pImage, 0, 0, 0, 0, $t_width, $t_height, $s_width, $s_height);

  // Return image

  return $iCanvas;

}

?>

First you need make 0~9 gif format images and background image.



<?php

/*

*/



$rands = rand(1000,9999);



session_start();

$_SESSION['random_image_number_check'] = $rands;



$bg = './random_image_bg.jpg';

$numimgp = './random_image_number_%d.gif';



$numimg1 = sprintf($numimgp,substr($rands,0,1));

$numimg2 = sprintf($numimgp,substr($rands,1,1));

$numimg3 = sprintf($numimgp,substr($rands,2,1));

$numimg4 = sprintf($numimgp,substr($rands,3,1));

$ys1 = rand(-4,4);

$ys2 = rand(-4,4);

$ys3 = rand(-4,4);

$ys4 = rand(-4,4);



$bgImg = imageCreateFromJPEG($bg);

$nmImg1 = imageCreateFromGIF($numimg1);

$nmImg2 = imageCreateFromGIF($numimg2);

$nmImg3 = imageCreateFromGIF($numimg3);

$nmImg4 = imageCreateFromGIF($numimg4);

imageCopyMerge($bgImg, $nmImg1, 10, $ys1, 0, 0, 20, 30, 50);

imageCopyMerge($bgImg, $nmImg2, 30, $ys2, 0, 0, 20, 30, 50);

imageCopyMerge($bgImg, $nmImg3, 50, $ys3, 0, 0, 20, 30, 50);

imageCopyMerge($bgImg, $nmImg4, 70, $ys4, 0, 0, 20, 30, 50);

header("Content-type: image/jpg");

ImageJPEG($bgImg,"",100);

imagedestroy($bgImg);

imagedestroy($nmImg1);

imagedestroy($nmImg2);

imagedestroy($nmImg3);

imagedestroy($nmImg4);

?>

Building upon backglancer's and stefan's posts below, the following script will lay a 24-bit PNG watermark over any image.



To prepare a 24-bit watermark, I recommend creating a white logo or text over a transparent background in Photoshop.  Save this as a 24-bit PNG via 'Save for the Web...'.  Be sure to set the transparency of the logo layer in Photoshop itself.  30-40% is a good setting.



Once the assets are prepared, throw the full or relative server paths at the watermark function below:



/******************************************************************/



function watermark($sourcefile, $watermarkfile) {

  

    #

    # $sourcefile = Filename of the picture to be watermarked.

    # $watermarkfile = Filename of the 24-bit PNG watermark file.

    #

    

    //Get the resource ids of the pictures

    $watermarkfile_id = imagecreatefrompng($watermarkfile);

    

    imageAlphaBlending($watermarkfile_id, false);

    imageSaveAlpha($watermarkfile_id, true);



    $fileType = strtolower(substr($sourcefile, strlen($sourcefile)-3));



    switch($fileType) {

        case('gif'):

            $sourcefile_id = imagecreatefromgif($sourcefile);

            break;

            

        case('png'):

            $sourcefile_id = imagecreatefrompng($sourcefile);

            break;

            

        default:

            $sourcefile_id = imagecreatefromjpeg($sourcefile);

    }



    //Get the sizes of both pix   

  $sourcefile_width=imageSX($sourcefile_id);

  $sourcefile_height=imageSY($sourcefile_id);

  $watermarkfile_width=imageSX($watermarkfile_id);

  $watermarkfile_height=imageSY($watermarkfile_id);



    $dest_x = ( $sourcefile_width / 2 ) - ( $watermarkfile_width / 2 );

    $dest_y = ( $sourcefile_height / 2 ) - ( $watermarkfile_height / 2 );

    

    // if a gif, we have to upsample it to a truecolor image

    if($fileType == 'gif') {

        // create an empty truecolor container

        $tempimage = imagecreatetruecolor($sourcefile_width,

                                                                            $sourcefile_height);

        

        // copy the 8-bit gif into the truecolor image

        imagecopy($tempimage, $sourcefile_id, 0, 0, 0, 0, 

                            $sourcefile_width, $sourcefile_height);

        

        // copy the source_id int

        $sourcefile_id = $tempimage;

    }



    imagecopy($sourcefile_id, $watermarkfile_id, $dest_x, $dest_y, 0, 0,

                        $watermarkfile_width, $watermarkfile_height);



    //Create a jpeg out of the modified picture

    switch($fileType) {

    

        // remember we don't need gif any more, so we use only png or jpeg.

        // See the upsaple code immediately above to see how we handle gifs

        case('png'):

            header("Content-type: image/png");

            imagepng ($sourcefile_id);

            break;

            

        default:

            header("Content-type: image/jpg");

            imagejpeg ($sourcefile_id);

    }           

  

    imagedestroy($sourcefile_id);

    imagedestroy($watermarkfile_id);

    

}

I was about to kill myself....

any one of you trying to merge a SEMI transparent png...

use imagecopy   :)

<?

$flag = imagecreatefrompng('flags/images/flagWhiteFill.png');

$mask = imagecreatefrompng('flags/images/flag_transparent.png');



imagealphablending($flag, 1);

imagealphablending($mask, 1);



imagecopy($flag, $mask, 0,0,0,0,25,43);



Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

imagepng($flag);

?>



ImageSaveAlpha(resource, bool);   made the transparent color - not transparent... dunno why :)

I needed to draw a "pointer" image over a map, but had some problems with png image transparency.

So I created a png image with white background (not transparent) and merged it on my map, after defining white color as transparent:



<?php



$src_file = 'source.jpg';

list($src_w, $src_h, $src_t, $src_a) = getimagesize($src_file);



$ptr_file = 'pointer.png'; // must have no transparency, but white background

list($ptr_w, $ptr_h, $ptr_t, $ptr_a) = getimagesize($ptr_file);



// destination image dimensions:

$dst_w = 400;

$dst_h = 200;



// pointer position:

$ptr_x = 195;

$ptr_y = 70;



$srcImage = imageCreateFromJpeg($src_file) or die ('failed imageCreateFromJpg'); 

$dstImage = imageCreateTrueColor($dst_w, $dst_h) or die ('failed imageCreateTrueColor'); 



imageCopyResampled($dstImage, $srcImage, 0, 0, 0, 0, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h) or die ('failed imageCopyResampled'); 



$ptrImage = imageCreateFromPng($ptr_file) or die ('failed imageCreateFromPng'); 



$ptr_white = imageColorAllocate($ptrImage,255,255,255);

imageColorTransparent($ptrImage,$ptr_white);



imageCopyMerge($dstImage, $ptrImage, $ptr_x, $ptr_y, 0, 0, $ptr_w, $ptr_h, 100) or die ('failed imageCopyMerge');



imageJpeg($dstImage,'',100) or die ('failed imageJpeg');



imageDestroy($srcImage) or die ('failed imageDestroy(1)');

imageDestroy($dstImage) or die ('failed imageDestroy(2)');

imageDestroy($ptrImage) or die ('failed imageDestroy(3)');



?>

I found on the internet about a thousand copies of this "imageCopyMerge" script of Stefan. 



Most of them had a  copyright notice of the copyist added, but none of them had added what a starting user of PHP scripting really needs: The lines to be used in a HTML page, where the result of the script will be visible:



<?php

$sourcefile = "ORIGFILE.jpg";

$insertfile = "watermark.jpg";

$targetfile = "foto.jpg";

$transition = 30;

$pos=7;

require("watermark.php");

mergePix($sourcefile, $insertfile, $targetfile, $pos, $transition);

echo "<img src=\"$targetfile\">";

?> 



I was so lucky to get these lines from someone on the internet, after I posted my question all over the world. 

Most other people that replied, referred to the bookstore. But I had first read halve the (this) PHP manual, and had not found it. 



Just a suggestion, but I know it will help many people getting started with PHP: When you put your scripts here, why not add those few lines needed to incorporate it into a HTML page?

This example shows how to use imageCopyMerge to create a water mark function with four random positions (the corners).



<?php

function waterMark($fileInHD, $wmFile, $transparency = 50, $jpegQuality = 90, $margin = 5) {



 $wmImg   = imageCreateFromGIF($wmFile);

 $jpegImg = imageCreateFromJPEG($fileInHD);



 // Water mark random position

 $wmX = (bool)rand(0,1) ? $margin : (imageSX($jpegImg) - imageSX($wmImg)) - $margin;

 $wmY = (bool)rand(0,1) ? $margin : (imageSY($jpegImg) - imageSY($wmImg)) - $margin;



 // Water mark process

 imageCopyMerge($jpegImg, $wmImg, $wmX, $wmY, 0, 0, imageSX($wmImg), imageSY($wmImg), $transparency);



 // Overwriting image

 ImageJPEG($jpegImg, $fileInHD, $jpegQuality);

}



waterMark('myImage.jpg','waterMark.gif');



?>

This function is intended to serve as an example for the "imageCopyMerge"-"ImageCopyResized", "ImageColorTransparent" functions. 

I hope it will help. 

This function pick an image, square cut it resampled at the size requested and finishing merge the result with another one to obtain a circular image result. I have a problem to obtain an thumbnail that respect the colors and at the same time where cutted in a circular form, I hope this solution can gives you a clue to obtain a free form images, I use this one also to create multicutted images.



<?php

$generalsrc="$image"; //the image to resample, resize and iconaize

$final_thumbwidth ="125";

$final_thumbheight ="125";



$abc = imagecreatefromjpeg("$generalsrc"); 

$def = imagecreatetruecolor($final_thumbwidth, $final_thumbheight); 

$src_mx = round((imagesx($abc) / 2)-"0.1"); // middle x point of the image

$src_my = round((imagesy($abc) / 2)-"0.1"); // middle y point of the image

$src_x = ($src_mx * 2);

$src_y = ($src_my * 2);

$src_sq = ($src_x >= $src_y)?$src_y:$src_x; //used to define the best size for a square cut of the image

$pl = ($src_x >= $src_y)?"1":"2"; //define if the image is portait or landscape

$strt_pntx = ($pl=="1")?round(($src_my / 2)-"0. 1"):"0";  //defines the x start point

$strt_pnty = ($pl=="2")?round(($src_mx / 2)-"0. 1"):"0";  //defines the y start point



imagecopyresized($def, $abc, 0, 0, $strt_pntx, $strt_pnty, $final_thumbwidth, $final_thumbheight, $src_sq, $src_sq);



$overlay_img = imagecreatefromPNG("circle_125.png"); //NOTE use png for this

$src_w = "ImageSX($overlay_img)";

$src_h  = "ImageSY($overlay_img)";



$can_img = imagecreatetruecolor($src_w, $src_h);



$black = ImageColorAllocate ($overlay_img, 0, 0, 0);



ImageColorTransparent($overlay_img , $black);



imagecopy($can_img, $def, 0,0,0,0, $src_w, $src_h);

imagecopymerge($can_img, $overlay_img , 0,0,0,0, ImageSX($overlay_img), ImageSY($overlay_img),100); //Imagecopy won't work, you must used imagecopymerge



ImageJPEG($can_img,"merge_$generalsrc",100);



imagedestroy($overlay_img);

imagedestroy($can_img);

in addition to stefan's posting:



i found that if you use imagecopymerge with png-24 files with an alpha channel, it doesn't work use imagecopy instead.

it seems that imagecopymerge doesn't respect the alpha channel the way it should (a bug??).



some sample code here to place an image (image.png) on a backgroundcolor or backgroundimage.



<?php



$im = "image.png";

$bg = "ffddee";     // hex representation of the color (i.e. #ffffff for white)

$out = "png";       // or "jpg" for jpg file output

// $backgroundfile = "";  // optional backgroundfile if you don't want to use a color



//

// function to convert hex colorcode to decimal

//



function colordecode($hex){



   $code[r] = hexdec(substr($hex, 0 ,2));

   $code[g] = hexdec(substr($hex, 2 ,2));

   $code[b] = hexdec(substr($hex, 4 ,2));



   return $code;



} // end func colordecode



// create the resource id

$image_id = imageCreateFromPNG($im);



// get image size

$im_X = ImageSX($image_id);

$im_Y = ImageSY($image_id);



// create a truecolor background image of the right size

// or use a background image like this

// $backgroundimage = imageCreateFromPNG($backgroundfile);

$backgroundimage = imagecreatetruecolor($im_X, $im_Y);



// get the desired backgroundcolor:

// don't use this if you want to use a background image

$code = colordecode($bg);

$backgroundcolor = ImageColorAllocate($backgroundimage, $code[r], $code[g], $code[b]);

ImageFilledRectangle($backgroundimage, 0, 0, $im_X, $im_Y, $backgroundcolor);



// merge the two together with alphablending on!

ImageAlphaBlending($backgroundimage, true);

imagecopy($backgroundimage, $image_id, 0, 0, 0, 0, $im_X, $im_Y);



// output the image:

if($output == "jpg"){

   Header( "Content-type: image/jpeg");

   ImageJPEG($backgroundimage);

   }

   else{

       Header( "Content-type: image/png");

       ImagePNG($backgroundimage);

       }



// destroy the memory

ImageDestroy($backgroundimage);

ImageDestroy($image_id);

Yep, that worked a charm.



Since imageCopyMergeGray() is identical, it works just as well for that.



If you want to convert an image to greyscale, use imageCopyMergeGray() with the same image as source and destination, set the pict to 0, et voila!

If you need to merge 2 png's (or  presumably 2 gifs) with different color palettes, I have found this is the function to use.  Just set pct to 99, and you are rocking.  With pct set to 100, or imagecopy for that matter, the palette seems to go wonky.  (It probably just uses the palette of the source image. but don't quote me on that).
