(PECL imagick 2 >= 2.3.0, PECL imagick 3)

Imagick::transparentPaintImage — Paints pixels transparent

Description

public Imagick::transparentPaintImage(
    mixed $target,
    float $alpha,
    float $fuzz,
    bool $invert
): bool

Paints pixels matching the target color transparent. This method is available if Imagick has been compiled against ImageMagick version 6.3.8 or newer.

Parameters

target: The target color to paint
alpha: The level of transparency: 1.0 is fully opaque and 0.0 is fully transparent.
fuzz: The amount of fuzz. For example, set fuzz to 10 and the color red at intensities of 100 and 102 respectively are now interpreted as the same color.
invert: If true paints any pixel that does not match the target color.

Return Values

Returns true on success.

Examples

Example #1 Imagick::transparentPaintImage()

<?php
function transparentPaintImage($color, $alpha, $fuzz) {
    $imagick = new \Imagick(realpath("images/BlueScreen.jpg"));

    //Need to be in a format that supports transparency
    $imagick->setimageformat('png');

    $imagick->transparentPaintImage(
        $color, $alpha, $fuzz * \Imagick::getQuantum(), false
    );

    //Not required, but helps tidy up left over pixels
    $imagick->despeckleimage();

    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    echo $imagick->getImageBlob();
}

?>

The $color parameter can be a string like this:

"rgb(255, 255, 255)"

As you can guess, that example represents white color.
"rgb" indicates red-green-blue, and numeric values are amounts for each, from 0 to 255.

Black color it will be "rgb(0, 0, 0)".
Full red color it will be "rgb(255, 0, 0)".
