Php Tutorial & Imagick Examples

[Hairy DJ]

Byron asked If I could back up my PHP/Imagick web pages here on heliohost so here they are. When I started PHP I had no programing experience except Basic back in the 70's and everything I read had a very sharp learning curve. I made my tutorial for absolute beginners. When I started Imagick I found that it was almost totally undocumented on http://php.net so to teach myself I tried every method and made a web page for almost every one I got to work. I included some animation examples because there is almost nothing on the internet about making animations with PHP.

There is one Imagick example that doesn't work on heliohost and I haven't figured a work-around yet.

[Byron]

Hey Mike. Glad to see your tutorials on heliohost. Which imagick example doesn't work for heliohost?

ImagickDraw::circle

It should look like this

but the setfillcolor() doesn't give the correct color. I haven't tried it with a blank image.

[Byron]

Are you sure it's setfillcolor() that isn't working? I use that on several of my imagick tools to set the font color:

$image = new Imagick();
$pixel = new ImagickPixel("white");
$draw = new ImagickDraw();
$draw->setFont($font);
$draw->setFontSize($size);
$draw->setFillColor("#000080");
$draw->setGravity(Imagick::GRAVITY_CENTER);
