imageantialias

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5, PHP 7)

imageantialiasShould antialias functions be used or not


Description

imageantialias ( resource $image , bool $enabled ) : bool

Activate the fast drawing antialiased methods for lines and wired polygons. It does not support alpha components. It works using a direct blend operation. It works only with truecolor images.

Thickness and styled are not supported.

Using antialiased primitives with transparent background color can end with some unexpected results. The blend method uses the background color as any other colors. The lack of alpha component support does not allow an alpha based antialiasing method.


Parameters

image
An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
enabled
Whether to enable antialiasing or not.


Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.


Changelog

Version Description
7.2.0 imageantialias() is now generally available. Formerly

it was only available if PHP was compiled with the bundled version of the GD library.


Examples

Example #1 A comparison of two lines, one with anti-aliasing switched on

<?php// Setup an anti-aliased image and a normal image$aa = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 100);$normal = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 100);// Switch antialiasing on for one imageimageantialias($aa, true);// Allocate colors$red = imagecolorallocate($normal, 255, 0, 0);$red_aa = imagecolorallocate($aa, 255, 0, 0);// Draw two lines, one with AA enabledimageline($normal, 0, 0, 200, 100, $red);imageline($aa, 0, 0, 200, 100, $red_aa);// Merge the two images side by side for output (AA: left, Normal: Right)imagecopymerge($aa, $normal, 200, 0, 0, 0, 200, 100, 100);// Output imageheader('Content-type: image/png');imagepng($aa);imagedestroy($aa);imagedestroy($normal);?>
