Equivalent of ImageMagick gradient for php Imagick

Post by Defacta »

Hello,

I looked for the equivalent of gradient for Imagick at http://php.net/manual/en/class.imagickpixel.php and at http://php.net/manual/en/class.imagick.php with no success.

What is the equivalent of

Code: Select all

convert -size 128x128 gradient:"rgba(255,0,0,0)-rgba(255,0,0,1)" 1.png
for php Imagick?

And at a general level, how to find the equivalent of an ImageMagick feature for php Imagick?

Many thanks.

As the question is about IMagick, I'm moving it to the IMagick forum.

A search for "gradient" in the IMagick forum shows answers, such as viewtopic.php?f=18&t=29903&p=134571&hil ... nt#p134571

Oh, ok thanks.

It's working for:

Code: Select all

$imgLine->newPseudoImage(500, 500, 'gradient:#cbcbcb-#94938f');
But not for:

Code: Select all

$imgLine->newPseudoImage(500, 500, 'gradient:direction=east gradient:#cbcbcb-#94938f');
Same code with direction from https://www.imagemagick.org/script/gradient.php
I get the error message:
Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'unrecognized color `direction=east gradient:#cbcbcb'

So tried also "gradient:angle=90 gradient: #cbcbcb-#94938f" but with the same error message. Any idea how to make a gradient with a specific direction ?

Thanks,
Vincent.

My version of Imagick :
imagick module version 3.2.0RC1

At the command line, "gradient:direction" etc need "-define". I don't know the equivalent in IMagick.

The angled gradient is probably not supported In Imagick - it only supports some of the imagemagick operators and options.

I would create the gradient image and then rotate it or use exec( ) with the command you have.

Yes, by rotating it. Thanks for the help :)
