imagecopyresampled() copies a rectangular portion of one image to another image, smoothly interpolating pixel values so that, in particular, reducing the size of an image still retains a great deal of clarity.
If the source and destination coordinates and width and heights
differ, appropriate stretching or shrinking of the image fragment
will be performed. The coordinates refer to the upper left
corner. This function can be used to copy regions within the
same image (if dst_image
is the same as
src_image
) but if the regions overlap the
results will be unpredictable.
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
dst_w
Destination width
dst_h
Destination height
src_w
Source width
src_h
Source height
Example 2. Resampling an image proportionally This example will display an image with the maximum width, or height, of 200 pixels.
The above example will output something similar to: |
Note: There is a problem due to palette image limitations (255+1 colors). Resampling or filtering an image commonly needs more colors than 255, a kind of approximation is used to calculate the new resampled pixel and its color. With a palette image we try to allocate a new color, if that failed, we choose the closest (in theory) computed color. This is not always the closest visual color. That may produce a weird result, like blank (or visually blank) images. To skip this problem, please use a truecolor image as a destination image, such as one created by imagecreatetruecolor().
