TYPO3 12.4 API: GifBuilder

GifBuilder extends GraphicalFunctions

GIFBUILDER

Generating gif/png-files from TypoScript Used by the menu-objects and imgResource in TypoScript.

This class allows for advanced rendering of images with various layers of images, text and graphical primitives. The concept is known from TypoScript as "GIFBUILDER" where you can define a "numerical array" (TypoScript term as well) of "GIFBUILDER OBJECTS" (like "TEXT", "IMAGE", etc.) and they will be rendered onto an image one by one. The name "GIFBUILDER" comes from the time where GIF was the only file format supported. PNG is just as well to create today (configured with TYPO3_CONF_VARS[GFX]) Not all instances of this class is truly building gif/png files by layers; You may also see the class instantiated for the purpose of using the scaling functions in the parent class.

Here is an example of how to use this class (from tslib_content.php, function getImgResource):

$gifCreator = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Imaging\GifBuilder::class); $gifCreator->init(); $theImage=''; if ($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['gdlib']) { $gifCreator->start($fileArray, $this->data); $theImage = $gifCreator->gifBuild(); } return $gifCreator->getImageDimensions($theImage);

Notes by Benni in 2023 in order to understand this magic:

Relevant if an image should be

scaled
cropped
keep the aspect ratio while scaling?
use a target width or height
or rather have a minimum or maximum width and/or height

This method does a lot of magic:

$info contains [0] = width and [1] the width of an original image for example.
$w and $h are the width and height that are originally required the image to be like when scaled. They could contain a "c" for cropping information or "m" for "Ensure that even though $w and $h are given, one containing an $m that we keep the aspect ratio." "m" really allows to say $w="50c" that this might in a result with [0]=100 because $w would follow $h in order to keep aspect ratio. Obviously this only works properly if both m and c are working
$options contain "maxW" (never go beyond this width, even if scaling larger as this), same with "maxH" and "minW" and "minH"

The return values are a bit tricky to understand, so I added a few tests:

AFAICS "0" and "1" are always used as "these are the target width / height" which my image should be scaled to, or cropped down to. Notes: If you hand in $info[0] and $info[1] a "0", you will get "0" as return value back! but
"crs" if the image should be cropped (which is indicated by one of $w or $h contain the "c" at the end)
"cropH" and "cropV" is also set when one of the incoming $w or $h contains a "c". Notes: "cropH" and "cropV" are rather cryptic, and can't really be used outside of this context. They are then "magically calculated" outside of this function $offsetX = (int)(($data[0] - $data['origW']) * ($data['cropH'] + 100) / 200); $offsetY = (int)(($data[1] - $data['origH']) * ($data['cropV'] + 100) / 200);
"origW" / "origH" seems to be the values that were handed in as $w and $h, but they might be altered f.e. "origH" is set when $w is given and $options["maxH"]
When such a rearranging calculation was made ("maxH" reduces the original $w due to constraints), then the return value "max" is set.
When using the "c" argument, origH and origW seem to contain the values that you would expect when NOT doing a crop scenario whereas [0] and [1] contain the target width and height that could be larger than originally requested.

Parameters

$info : array<string|int, mixed>: Current image information: Width, Height etc.
$w : string: "required" width
$h : string: "required" height
$options : array<string|int, mixed>: Options: Keys are like "maxW", "maxH", "minW", "minH"

keys "0" and "1" explain the target width and height that should be adopted, but can be null

gifCompress()

Compressing a GIF file if not already 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 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.

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

Parameters

$imagefile : string: The absolute 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.
