gif_or_jpg()

Returns an image extension for an output image based on the number of pixels of the output and the file extension of the original file.


    public
                    gif_or_jpg(string $type, int $w, int $h) : string

For example: If the number of pixels exceeds $this->pixelLimitGif (normally 10000) then it will be a "jpg" string in return.

Parameters

$type : string: The file extension, lowercase.
$w : int: The width of the output image.
$h : int: The height of the output image.

Return values

string —

The filename, either "jpg" or "gif"/"png" (whatever $this->gifExtension is set to.)

gifCompress()

Compressing a GIF file if not already LZW compressed.


    public
            static        gifCompress(string $theFile, string $type) : string

This function is a workaround for the fact that ImageMagick and/or GD does not compress GIF-files to their minimum size (that is RLE or no compression used)

The function takes a file-reference, $theFile, and saves it again through GD or ImageMagick in order to compress the file GIF: If $type is not set, the compression is done with ImageMagick (provided that $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['processor_path_lzw'] is pointing to the path of a lzw-enabled version of 'convert') else with GD (should be RLE-enabled!) If $type is set to either 'IM' or 'GD' the compression is done with ImageMagick and GD respectively PNG: No changes.

$theFile is expected to be a valid GIF-file! The function returns a code for the operation.

Parameters

$theFile : string: Filepath
$type : string: See description of function

Return values

string —

Returns "GD" if GD was used, otherwise "IM" if ImageMagick was used. If nothing done at all, it returns empty string.

hexColor()

Returns the HEX color value for an RGB color array


    public
                    hexColor(array<string|int, mixed> $color) : string

Parameters

$color : array<string|int, mixed>: RGB color array

Return values

string —

HEX color value

imagecopyresized()

Alternative function for using the similar PHP function imagecopyresized(). Used for GD2 only.


    public
                    imagecopyresized(resource &$dstImg, resource $srcImg, int $dstX, int $dstY, int $srcX, int $srcY, int $dstWidth, int $dstHeight, int $srcWidth, int $srcHeight) : mixed

OK, the reason for this stupid fix is the following story: GD1.x was capable of copying two images together and combining their palettes! GD2 is apparently not. With GD2 only the palette of the dest-image is used which mostly results in totally black images when trying to copy a color-ful image onto the destination. The GD2-fix is to

Create a blank TRUE-COLOR image
Copy the destination image onto that one
Then do the actual operation; Copying the source (top image) onto that
... and return the result pointer.
Reduce colors (if we do not, the result may become strange!) It works, but the resulting images is now a true-color PNG which may be very large. So, why not use 'imagetruecolortopalette ($im, TRUE, 256)' - well because it does NOT WORK! So simple is that.

Parameters

$dstImg : resource: Destination image
$srcImg : resource: Source image
$dstX : int: Destination x-coordinate
$dstY : int: Destination y-coordinate
$srcX : int: Source x-coordinate
$srcY : int: Source y-coordinate
$dstWidth : int: Destination width
$dstHeight : int: Destination height
$srcWidth : int: Source width
$srcHeight : int: Source height

imageCreateFromFile()

Creates a new GDlib image resource based on the input image filename.


    public
                    imageCreateFromFile(string $sourceImg) : resource

Parameters

$imagefile : string: The image filepath
$newExt : string = '': New extension, eg. "gif", "png", "jpg", "tif". If $newExt is NOT set, the new imagefile will be of the original format. If newExt = 'WEB' then one of the web-formats is applied.
$w : string = '': Width. $w / $h is optional. If only one is given the image is scaled proportionally. If an 'm' exists in the $w or $h and if both are present the $w and $h is regarded as the Maximum w/h and the proportions will be kept
$h : string = '': Height. See $w
$params : string = '': Additional ImageMagick parameters.
$frame : string = '': Refers to which frame-number to select in the image. '' or 0 will select the first frame, 1 will select the next and so on...
$options : array<string|int, mixed> = []: An array with options passed to getImageScale (see this function).
$mustCreate : bool = false: If set, then another image than the input imagefile MUST be returned. Otherwise you can risk that the input image is good enough regarding measures etc and is of course not rendered to a new, temporary file in typo3temp/. But this option will force it to.

array<string|int, mixed>|null —

[0]/[1] is w/h, [2] is file extension and [3] is the filename.
