Description

public Imagick::transparentPaintImage(

Examples

Example #1 Imagick::transparentPaintImage()

<?php
function transparentPaintImage($color, $alpha, $fuzz) {
$imagick = new \Imagick(realpath("images/BlueScreen.jpg"));

//Need to be in a format that supports transparency
$imagick->setimageformat('png');

$imagick->transparentPaintImage(
$color, $alpha, $fuzz * \Imagick::getQuantum(), false
);

//Not required, but helps tidy up left over pixels
$imagick->despeckleimage();

header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo $imagick->getImageBlob();
}
