imagepalettetotruecolor

(PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imagepalettetotruecolorConverts a palette based image to true color

Descrizione

imagepalettetotruecolor(GdImage $image): bool

Converts a palette based image, created by functions like imagecreate() to a true color image, like imagecreatetruecolor().

Elenco dei parametri

image

Una risorsa immagine, restituita da una delle funzioni di creazione immagine, come imagecreatetruecolor().

Valori restituiti

Returns true if the convertion was complete, or if the source image already is a true color image, otherwise false is returned.

Log delle modifiche

Versione Descrizione
8.0.0 image expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid gd resource was expected.

Esempi

Example #1 Converts any image object to true color

<?php
// Backwards compatiblity
if(!function_exists('imagepalettetotruecolor'))
{
function
imagepalettetotruecolor(&$src)
{
if(
imageistruecolor($src))
{
return(
true);
}

$dst = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($src), imagesy($src));

imagecopy($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
imagedestroy($src);

$src = $dst;

return(
true);
}
}

// Helper closure
$typeof = function() use($im)
{
echo
'typeof($im) = ' . (imageistruecolor($im) ? 'true color' : 'palette'), PHP_EOL;
};

// Create a palette based image
$im = imagecreate(100, 100);
$typeof();

// Convert it to true color
imagepalettetotruecolor($im);
$typeof();

// Free the memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:

typeof($im) = palette
typeof($im) = true color

PHP ver 5.4.24 does not support this function (it has not been defined). To get rid of this, you must copy image resource to new image created by function imagecreatetruecolor();

Example with image loaded from GIF file:

$image = imagecreatefromgif("path/to/gif/file.gif"); //create an image from GIF
$width = imagesx($image); //get width of source image
$height = imagesy($image); //get height of source image
$image2 = imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height); //create new image of true colors with given width and height
imagecopy($image2,$image,0,0,0,0,$width,$height); //copy source image to new one

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg"); //set header for JPG image
imagejpg($image2); //render JPg image into browser

imagedestroy($image); //free up memory
imagedestroy($image2);

here the working version of walf's solution

<?php
// Backwards compatiblity
if (!function_exists('imagepalettetotruecolor')) {
function
imagepalettetotruecolor(&$src) {
if (
imageistruecolor($src)) {
return
true;
}

$dst = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($src), imagesy($src));

imagealphablending($dst, false);//prevent blending with default black
$transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst, 255, 255, 255, 127);//change the RGB values if you need, but leave alpha at 127
imagefilledrectangle($dst, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src), $transparent);//simpler than flood fill
imagealphablending($dst, true);//restore default blending

imagecopy($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
imagedestroy($src);

$src = $dst;
return
true;
}
}
?>

The backwards compatibility example does not preserve transparency. You must first wipe out the default black background on the new image:

<?php
// Backwards compatiblity
if (!function_exists('imagepalettetotruecolor')) {
function
imagepalettetotruecolor(&$src) {
if (
imageistruecolor($src)) {
return
true;
}

$dst = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($src), imagesy($src));

imagealphablending($dst, false);//prevent blending with default black
$transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($new_image, 255, 255, 255, 127);//change the RGB values if you need, but leave alpha at 127
imagefilledrectangle($dst, 0, 0, $imagesx($src), imagesy($src), $transparent);//simpler than flood fill
imagealphablending($dst, true);//restore default blending

imagecopy($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
imagedestroy($src);

$src = $dst;
return
true;
}
}
?>
