New ImageMagick / MagickWand extension for php

IMagick is a native PHP extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API. ImageMagick Studio LLC did not write nor does it maintain the IMagick extension, however, IMagick users are welcome to discuss the extension here.

New ImageMagick / MagickWand extension for php

Post by sp0n9e »

Imagick has been rereleased by active maintainers at http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick. The implementation is very close to complete with a beta in the next week or two, and documentation should be finished in the next 6 to 8 weeks, including figures and full examples (only the argument list is available now). Just wanted to make you guys aware that a new implementation is out there, and is being actively maintained and developed with windows dll's for beta builds and releases to be rolled automagically at http://pecl4win.php.net (no beta release yet, so no dll's :/)

Good news. We'll add a pointer to Imagick from the ImageMagick web pages now that we are reassured it is an actively maintained project.

Oh, I forgot, the documentation is at your favorite php mirror http://php.net/imagick. Here's a little taste of the way the Imagick extension is used

Code: Select all

<?php

$image = new Imagick();

$image->readimage('largeimage.jpg');
// Passing 0 makes scaleImage retain aspect ratio
$image->scaleImage(640,0);
$image->writeImage('mediumimage.jpg');

?>

Hi,

I have been using that extension from a week ago. I know that its an experimental extension but it supports reading/writing EPS and PDF files?

In case answer is yes I have an error when I try to read any PDF file, the error is:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'Undefined exception.' in C:\web-php\test.php:14 Stack trace: #0 C:\web-php\test.php(14): Imagick->readimage('test.pdf') #1 {main} thrown in C:\web-php\test.php on line 14
The PHP code is:

Code: Select all

$handle = new Imagick();

$handle -> readImage('test.pdf');
The mistake is produced by the second line

I supposed that maybe it need Ghostscript to read/write EPS and PDF, but after install it I get the same error.

Can anybody help with that,

Thanks.

P.D.: Excuse my bad english

I removed all undefined exceptions in the newest release. Maybe it's not rolled into Windows builds yet. I assume that discussing imagick extension here is a bit off-topic ( I don't know what ImageMagick guys like that ? ).

You should propably configure the delegate for the PDF format. I don't know how that happens in Windows since I don't run imagick on that platform. Reading and writing PDFs in my tests (Linux) works just fine.

Yes, probably this is OFF-Topic, and I´m really sorry for that but I didn´t know where I could find any help about this problem. Do you know where??

I dont lnow what you mean with:
You should propably configure the delegate for the PDF format.
Can you explain in detail?

Thanks a lot

Correct me if I am wrong but this happens in delegates.xml file. See: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/resources.php

ok, Now I know what are you talking about.

I have installed PHP 5.2.3 with the Windows Installer, this one don´t create any configuration file for Imagick so there isn´t any delegates.xml.

I think I´m really lost!.

Could you let me know the difference between PHP MagickWand and Imagick?

I really would like to start using ImageMagick, but I am having difficulty getting started.

Here is an Imagick code snippet that should help you get started. I'd put it in the new Imagick Forum; but. it's not active yet.

http://www.ridersite.org/imagemagick/Imagick.php shows the label and some other stuff in the code.

Code: Select all

<?php
/*********************************** Make a nifty label ************************************/

   $report= "<html><body style= \"margin:5%; font-size:12pt\">\n\n";

    $report .= "<p style=\"color:blue; text-align:center\">PHP Imagick Image Library Label Test</p>\n\n";

/* This is the IM command version:
-size 900x85 xc:#ffffee -font Bookman-DemiItalic -pointsize 30 -draw "text 10,60 'Image created and saved: 9 Aug 2007 02:36:38 PM'" -channel RGBA -gaussian 0x6 -fill darkred -stroke magenta -draw "text 5,55 'Image created and saved: 9 Aug 2007 02:36:38 PM'"
*/

	$obj2= 		new Imagick();						//Object
	$draw=		new ImagickDraw();				    //Drawing objects
	$color= 	new ImagickPixel();					//Pixels color objects

	$php5= ((int)PHP_VERSION >= 5)? TRUE : FALSE;

	if($php5)date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');							//Set as needed, php5.1+

	$text= 'Image created and saved: ' . date('j M Y h:i A');
	$width= 	940;
	$height= 	85;
	$font_size= 	32;
	$left_margin=	30;
	$top_margin=	55;													//Text and shadow location
	$label_img=	'./test_label.jpg';

	$color->setColor('skyblue');
	$obj2->newImage($width, $height, $color);									//Create the label image

	$draw->setFont("Bookman-DemiItalic");										//Set the font
	$draw->setFontSize($font_size);											   //Set the size

	$color->setColor("black");                                                                                              //Shadow color
	$draw->setFillColor($color);

	$obj2->annotateImage($draw, $left_margin+5, $top_margin+5, 0, $text);			       //Add the text shadow

	$obj2->gaussianBlurImage(0, 6); 										  //Blur it

	$color->setColor("darkred");												//Text color
	$draw->setFillColor($color);
	$color->setColor('magenta');												//Stroke color
	$draw->setStrokeColor($color);

	$draw->annotation($left_margin, $top_margin, $text);							//Add pretty text

	$obj2->drawImage($draw);											//Add the text layer

/********* 3d Frame it ********************************/
/*
 * The IM command:  -mattecolor Blue -frame 10x10+0+6
*/

 	$color->setColor('blue');

 	$obj2->frameImage($color, 14, 14, 0, 8);

	$obj2->SetImageFormat('jpeg');

	$obj2->writeImage($label_img);

	$report .= "<img alt=\"image missing\" src=\"$label_img\">\n\n";

        $report .= "</body></html>\n\n";

        echo $report;
