Re: [PHP] PHP GD - Create a flag

Thankyou Ashley,

as I only need 5 colors for each image, my idea was to create a single pixel
image for each color and save it on the hd (so that i don't have to create
it every time).

I've finally used this code:

imagecopymerge($base, $img1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75);
imagecopymerge($base, $img2, 100, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75);
imagecopymerge($base, $img3, 200, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75);
imagecopymerge($base, $img4, 300, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75);
imagecopymerge($base, $img5, 400, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75);

($imgX are 1*1 images. I have a function that checks if they exists)

You can see the output here: http://aagmns47.facebook.joyent.us/sdna/.

I think that copying a 1*1 image (and as said i'll cache all 1*1 colors on
the hd) on a background is less resource-expensive than creating a coloured
rectangle every time, isn't it?

 So that i have a 600*600 px background image, and a 1*1 px image for each
 colour I need.

 Ok now let's say i want to colour a third of the background image. I can use
 this code:

 imagecopymerge($base, $img1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 200, 600, 85);

 It will simply make red first 200 px (on x axys) of the bg image. And this
 work.

 Now the problem is: how can i add another colour on pixels from 201 (201
 right? not 200?) to 400?

 Thankyou



 Erm, why don't you use something like imagerectangle() ? It's far easier
 and less resource intensive than having loads of single-pixel images for
 each colour you want to use.

   Thanks,
