imagepolygon
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
imagepolygon — Draws a polygon
Description
Signature as of PHP 8.0.0 (not supported with named arguments)
Alternative signature (deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0)
imagepolygon() creates a polygon in the given
image.
Parameters
-
image -
A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
-
points -
An array containing the polygon's vertices, e.g.:
points[0] = x0 points[1] = y0 points[2] = x1 points[3] = y1 -
num_points -
Total number of points (vertices), which must be at least 3.
If this parameter is omitted as per the second signature,pointsmust have an even number of elements, andnum_pointsis assumed to becount($points)/2. -
color -
A color identifier created with imagecolorallocate().
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 |
The parameter num_points has been deprecated.
|
| 8.0.0 |
image expects a GdImage
instance now; previously, a valid gd resource was expected.
|
Examples
Example #1 imagepolygon() example
<?php
// Create a blank image
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 300);
// Allocate a color for the polygon
$col_poly = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
// Draw the polygon
imagepolygon($image, array(
0, 0,
100, 200,
300, 200
),
3,
$col_poly);
// Output the picture to the browser
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>The above example will output something similar to:

Here are some handy routines for rotation and translation of polygons. Scaling could be added easily as well.
<?php
function translate_point(&$x,&$y,$angle,$about_x,$about_y,$shift_x,$shift_y)
{
$x -= $about_x;
$y -= $about_y;
$angle = ($angle / 180) * M_PI;
/* math:
[x2,y2] = [x, * [[cos(a),-sin(a)],
y] [sin(a),cos(a)]]
==>
x = x * cos(a) + y*sin(a)
y = x*-sin(a) + y*cos(a)
*/
$new_x = $x * cos($angle) - $y * sin($angle);
$new_y = $x * sin($angle) + $y * cos($angle);
$x = $new_x+ $about_x + $shift_x ;
$y = $new_y + $about_y + $shift_y;
}
function translate_poly($point_array, $angle, $about_x, $about_y,$shift_x,$shift_y)
{
$translated_poly = Array();
while(count($point_array) > 1)
{
$temp_x = array_shift($point_array);
$temp_y = array_shift($point_array);
translate_point($temp_x, $temp_y, $angle, $about_x, $about_y,$shift_x, $shift_y);
array_push($translated_poly, $temp_x);
array_push($translated_poly, $temp_y);
}
return $translated_poly;
}

Here's a function to draw a n-sided star:
<?php
function drawStar($img,$x,$y,$radius,$sides,$color,$spikness=0.5)
{
$point =array();
$t = 0;
for($a = 0;$a <= 360;$a += 360/($sides*2))
{
$t++;
if($t % 2 == 0)
{
$point[] = $x + ($radius * $spikness) * cos(deg2rad($a));
$point[] = $y + ($radius * $spikness) * sin(deg2rad($a));
}else{
$point[] = $x + $radius * cos(deg2rad($a));
$point[] = $y + $radius * sin(deg2rad($a));
}
}
return imagepolygon($img,$point,$sides*2,$color);
}
?>
