PNG composition using GD and PHP
- by Dominic
I am trying to take a rectangular png and add depth using GD by duplicating the background and moving it down 1 pixel and right 1 pixel. I am trying to preserve a transparent background as well.
I am having a bunch of trouble with preserving the transparency.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
$obj = imagecreatefrompng('rectangle.png');
$depth = 5;
$obj_width = imagesx($obj);
$obj_height = imagesy($obj);
imagesavealpha($obj, true);
for($i=1;$i<=$depth;$i++){
$layer = imagecreatefrompng('rectangle.png');
imagealphablending( $layer, false );
imagesavealpha($layer, true);
$new_obj = imagecreatetruecolor($obj_width+$i,$obj_height+$i);
$new_obj_width = imagesx($new_obj);
$new_obj_height = imagesy($new_obj);
imagealphablending( $new_obj, false );
imagesavealpha($new_obj, true);
$trans_color = imagecolorallocatealpha($new_obj, 0, 0, 0, 127);
imagefill($new_obj, 0, 0, $trans_color);
imagecopyresampled($new_obj, $layer, $i, $i, 0, 0, $obj_width, $obj_height, $obj_width, $obj_height);
//imagesavealpha($new_obj, true);
//imagesavealpha($obj, true);
}
header ("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($new_obj);
imagedestroy($new_obj);
