Examples

Example #1 Using Imagick::exportImagePixels()

Export image pixels into an array

<?php

/* Create new object */
$im = new Imagick();

/* Create new image */
$im->newPseudoImage(0, 0, "magick:rose");

/* Export the image pixels */
$pixels = $im->exportImagePixels(10, 10, 2, 2, "RGB", Imagick::PIXEL_CHAR);

/* Output */
var_dump($pixels);
?>

The above example will output:

array(12) {
  [0]=>
  int(72)
  [1]=>
  int(64)
  [2]=>
  int(57)
  [3]=>
  int(69)
  [4]=>
  int(59)
  [5]=>
