imagecolorat — Get the index of the color of a pixel
Description
imagecolorat
( resource $image
, int $x
, int $y
) : int|false
Returns the index of the color of the pixel at the
specified location in the image specified by image
.
If the image is a truecolor image, this function returns the RGB value of that pixel as integer. Use bitshifting and masking to access the distinct red, green and blue component values:
Parameters
image
- An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
x
- x-coordinate of the point.
y
- y-coordinate of the point.
Return Values
Returns the index of the color or FALSE
on failure.
Warning
This function may
return Boolean FALSE
, but may also return a non-Boolean value which
evaluates to FALSE
. Please read the section on Booleans for more
information. Use the ===
operator for testing the return value of this
function.
Examples
Example #1 Access distinct RGB values
<?php$im = imagecreatefrompng("php.png");$rgb = imagecolorat($im, 10, 15);$r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;$g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;$b = $rgb & 0xFF;var_dump($r, $g, $b);?>
The above example will output something similar to:
int(119) int(123) int(180)
Example #2 Human-readable RGB values using imagecolorsforindex()
<?php$im = imagecreatefrompng("php.png");$rgb = imagecolorat($im, 10, 15);$colors = imagecolorsforindex($im, $rgb);var_dump($colors);?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(4) { ["red"]=> int(119) ["green"]=> int(123) ["blue"]=> int(180) ["alpha"]=> int(127) }
