imagepolygon

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imagepolygonDraws a polygon

Description

Signature as of PHP 8.0.0 (not supported with named arguments)

imagepolygon(GdImage $image, array $points, int $color): bool

Alternative signature (deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0)

imagepolygon(
    GdImage $image,
    array $points,
    int $num_points,
    int $color
): bool

imagepolygon() creates a polygon in the given image.

Parameters

image

A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().

points

An array containing the polygon's vertices, e.g.:

points[0] = x0
points[1] = y0
points[2] = x1
points[3] = y1

num_points

Total number of points (vertices), which must be at least 3.

If this parameter is omitted as per the second signature, points must have an even number of elements, and num_points is assumed to be count($points)/2.
color

A color identifier created with imagecolorallocate().

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The parameter num_points has been deprecated.
8.0.0 image expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid gd resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 imagepolygon() example

<?php
// Create a blank image
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 300);

// Allocate a color for the polygon
$col_poly = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

// Draw the polygon
imagepolygon($image, array(
0, 0,
100, 200,
300, 200
),
3,
$col_poly);

// Output the picture to the browser
header('Content-type: image/png');

imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Output of example : imagepolygon()

Here are some handy routines for rotation and translation of polygons. Scaling could be added easily as well.

<?php
function translate_point(&$x,&$y,$angle,$about_x,$about_y,$shift_x,$shift_y)
{
$x -= $about_x;
$y -= $about_y;
$angle = ($angle / 180) * M_PI;
/* math:
[x2,y2] = [x, * [[cos(a),-sin(a)],
y] [sin(a),cos(a)]]
==>
x = x * cos(a) + y*sin(a)
y = x*-sin(a) + y*cos(a)
*/

$new_x = $x * cos($angle) - $y * sin($angle);
$new_y = $x * sin($angle) + $y * cos($angle);
$x = $new_x+ $about_x + $shift_x ;
$y = $new_y + $about_y + $shift_y;
}

function
translate_poly($point_array, $angle, $about_x, $about_y,$shift_x,$shift_y)
{
$translated_poly = Array();
while(
count($point_array) > 1)
{
$temp_x = array_shift($point_array);
$temp_y = array_shift($point_array);
translate_point($temp_x, $temp_y, $angle, $about_x, $about_y,$shift_x, $shift_y);
array_push($translated_poly, $temp_x);
array_push($translated_poly, $temp_y);
}
return
$translated_poly;
}
?>
