(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imagefttext — Bir metni bir görüntüye bir FreeType 2 yazı tipini kullanarak yazar

Açıklama

imagefttext(
    GdImage $görüntü,
    float $boyut,
    float $açı,
    int $x,
    int $y,
    int $renk,
    string $yazıtipi,
    string $metin,
    array $seçenekler = []
): array|false

Bilginize:
PHP 8.0.0 öncesinde imagefttext() işlevi imagettftext() işlevinin geliştirilmişi olup ek olarak seçenekler bağımsız değişkenine sahipti. PHP 8.0.0 ve sonrasında imagettftext() işlevi imagefttext() işlevinin takma adıdır.

Bağımsız Değişkenler

görüntü

imagecreatetruecolor() gibi bir görüntü oluşturma işlevinden dönen bir GdImage nesnesi.

boyut

Kullanılacak yazı tipinin punto olarak boyutu.

açı

Derece cinsinden açı. Soldan sağa yazılan bir metnin açısı 0 derecedir. Daha büyük değerler ters saat yönünde belirtilmiş varsayılır. Örneğin 90 derecelik bir metin aşağıdan yukarı doğru yazılır.

x

x ve y ile belirtilen koordinatlar ilk harfin taban noktasını (kabaca harfin sol alt köşesi) tanımlar. Bu tanımlama, koordinatların harfin sol üst köşesini tanımladığı imagestring() işlevinden farklıdır. Resmin sol üst köşesinin koordinatları 0, 0'dır.

y

x bağımsız değişkenine bakınız.

renk

Renk indisi. Negatif bir renk indisi kenar yumuşatmayı kapatır. imagecolorallocate() işlevine bakınız.

yazıtipi

Kullanılacak FreeType2 yazı tipi dosyasının yolu.

PHP'nin kullandığı GD kütüphanesinin sürümüne bağlı olarak, / ile başlamayan bir FreeType2 dosya ismine .ttf uzantısı eklenir ve kütüphane bu dosya ismini kütüphanede tanımlı dizinlerde arar.

Yazı tiplerinin betikle aynı dizinde bulunduğu durumlarda herhangi bir sorun çıkmaması için aşağıdaki çözüm kullanılabilir.

<?php
// GD ortam değişkenini tanımlayalım
putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . realpath('.'));

// Kullanılacak yazı tipinin ismi (dikkat: .ttf uzantısı yok)
$font = 'freesans';
?>

metin

Resme yerleştirilecek metin.

seçenekler

**`seçenekler` için olası dizi indisleri**
Anahtar	Türü	Anlamı
`linespacing`	float	Satırlar arasındaki boşluğu tanımlar.

Dönen Değerler

Metin çerçevesinin dört köşesinin koordinatlarını içeren 8 elemanlı bir dizi ile döner:

0	Sol alt köşenin X konumu
1	Sol alt köşenin Y konumu
2	Sağ alt köşenin X konumu
3	Sağ alt köşenin Y konumu
4	Sağ üst köşenin X konumu
5	Sağ üst köşenin Y konumu
6	Sol üst köşenin X konumu
7	Sol üst köşenin Y konumu

Başarısızlık durumunda, false döner.

Sürüm Bilgisi

Sürüm:	Açıklama
8.0.0	`görüntü` bağımsız değişkeninde artık bir GdImage nesnesi aktarmak gerekiyor; evvelce resource türünde geçerli bir `gd` değeri gerekirdi.

Örnekler

Örnek 1 - imagefttext() örneği

<?php
// 300x100 bir tuval oluşturalım
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(300, 100);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);

// Artalan rengi kırmızı olsun
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 299, 99, $red);

// ttf dosyamızın yolu
$font_file = './arial.ttf';

// 'PHP Manual' metnini 13 puntoluk yazdıralım
imagefttext($im, 13, 0, 105, 55, $black, $font_file, 'PHP Manual');

// Görüntüyü tarayıcıya gönderelim
header('Content-Type: image/png');

imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Notlar

Bilginize: Bu işlev sadece, PHP, freetype desteği (--with-freetype-dir=DİZİN seçeneği) ile derlenmişse kullanılabilir.

If you're interested in turning off FreeType hinting, search for the following line in the gd source (gdft.c):
      err = FT_Load_Glyph (face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT);
and replace it with
      err = FT_Load_Glyph (face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING);

Recompile GD, and vo?la: beauteous antialiasing.

When compiling PHP with FreeType 2 support, you'll probably have some problems if - for example - you use debian and didn't compile freetype2 yourself...
If configure fails after saying "If configure fails, try --with-xpm-dir..." you most likely have FreeType1 installed, but not freetype2 ...

Do this as root :
apt-get install libfreetype6-dev

It took me some time to find out that apt-get install freetype2 is actually installing freetype1 ...

After spending the evening with some work on automatically generated images, I had the idea to switch of anti-aliasing (looking, if some font would look better that way), which turned out not to be quite so easy.

Actually you have to use the negative of the desired color to switch of antialising. I include the corresponding line from my code (line split up):

// USE NEGATIVE OF DESIRED COLOR TO SWITCH OF ANTI-ALIASING
ImageFTText ($neuesBild,$fontsize,$fontangle,$TextPosX,$TextPosY,
-$custom_fg,$fonttype,$text,array());

For a design project I am required to have spacing between characters; since imagefttext does not support this feature I have created a function which does support this. 

The arguments are identical to imagefttext, accept that (array)$extrainfo now accepts the 'character_spacing' spacing parameter. The return values are as expected, and include the image boundaries of the entire string including the character spacing.

The downside is that $angle rotates each letter instead of rotating the entire word (could be seen as a feature on its own).

I hope this is of some use to someone.

// Function call, arguments are the same as imagefttext, expect that (array)$extrainfo takes a new paramenter called character_spacing.
$imageBox = imagefttext2($image, 9, 0, 2, 15, imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255), 'tahomabold.ttf', 'The quick brown fox...', array('character_spacing' => 5));

I had trouble working out how to accurately represent fonts in point sizes when constructing charts that had a user-customisable output DPI (basically, the user could specify the size of the chart in mm - or any other physical measure - and the DPI to create arbitrarily-sized charts to work properly in real printed documents).

GD1 was OK as it used pixels for font rendering, but GD2 uses points, which only makes any sense if you know the DPI that it assumes when rendering text on the image surface. I have not been able to find this anywhere in this documentation but have examined the GD2 source code and it appears to assume a DPI of 96 internally. However, this can easily be customised in the GD2 source so it cannot be assumed that all PHP interpreters out there have a GD2 compiled using 96dpi internally.

If it does, and you are using it to construct images whose target DPI is not 96, you can calculate the point size to supply to imageftbox() and imagefttext() like this:

<?php
/* 100mm x 100mm image */
$imageWidth = 100;
$imageHeight = 100;

/* 300 dpi image, therefore image is 1181 x 1181 pixels */
$imageDPI = 300;

/* unless we do this, text will be about 3 times too small */
$realFontSize = ($fontPt * $targetDPI) / 96;
?>

I am using php 5.1.2 on a winxp machine. I was  getting into the TrueType fonts and wanted to see which ones would look best incorporated into web images. So I created the following script that prints out samples of all the TrueType fonts found in my C:\Windows\Fonts directory. The script takes only one request parameter - 'fsize'. It stands for font-size and lets you see each font in any size you wish -- I limited it to values between 5 and 48. Hope this helps someone other than me :)

I apologize in advance if any of my code is not the prettiest-written php code even seen -- I have only been coding in php for the past week (I'm a perl-guy usually).

<?php
    list($x, $y, $maxwidth) = array(0, 0, 0);

    $fsize = (int)$_REQUEST['fsize'];
    if ($fsize < 5 or $fsize > 48) $fsize = 8;

    header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

    // don't know how wide or tall the font samples will be.
    // create a huge image for now, we'll copy it smaller
    // later when we know how large the image needs to be.
    $im = imagecreate(1000, 20000) or die('could not create!');
    $clr_white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    $clr_black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

    $font_path = "C:/Windows/Fonts/";
    $dh = opendir($font_path);
    while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== FALSE) {
        // we're only dealing with TTY fonts here.
        if (substr(strtolower($file), -4) != '.ttf') continue;

        $str = "Sample text for '$file'";
        $bbox = imagettfbbox(
            $fsize, 0, "{$font_path}{$file}", $str
        );
        $ww = $bbox[4] - $bbox[6];
        $hh = $bbox[1] - $bbox[7];

        imagettftext(
            $im, $fsize, 0, $x, $y,
            $clr_black, "{$font_path}{$file}", $str
        );

        $y += $hh + 20;
        if ($ww > $maxwidth) $maxwidth = $ww;
    }

    closedir($dh);

    // ok, now we can chop off the extra space from the
    // 1000 x 20000 image.
    $im2 = imagecreate($maxwidth + 20, $y);
    imagecopyresized(
        $im2, $im, 0, 0, 0, 0, $maxwidth + 20,
        $y, $maxwidth + 20, $y
    );
    imagejpeg($im2);
    imagedestroy($im);
    imagedestroy($im2);

If you want to get the best result in monochrome font rendering, change render_mode to FT_LOAD_RENDER. It's the last parameter of FT_Load_Glyph() function (in gdft.c).

For negative image you must add one line after the $grayColor computation:

I found myself in need of an align right function and found one on the imagepstext manual page. I can't imagine I'm the only person who's needed to use this, so here's a slightly modified version that works with imagefttext:

<?
  function align_right($string, $fontfile, $imgwidth, $fontsize){
    $spacing = 0;
    $line = array("linespacing" => $spacing);
    list($lx,$ly,$rx,$ry) = imageftbbox($fontsize,0,$fontfile,$string,$line);
    $textwidth = $rx - $lx;
    $imw = ($imgwidth-10-$textwidth);
    return $imw;
  }
?>

I wrote a bit of code to gather all the .ttf files in the directory with this script, and randomize them to write text on a header image for my site. The only catch is the font files have to be named 1.ttf, 2.ttf etc etc.

<?php

srand((double)microtime()*1234567); // Start the random gizmo
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg(rand(1,exec('ls *.jpg | wc -l')) . ".jpg"); // Get a background
$font = rand(1,exec('ls *.ttf | wc -l')) . ".ttf"; // Get a font
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($image,0,0,0); // Set text color

$text1 = "shenko.homedns.org"; // Here is our text

imagettftext($image, 50, 0, 20, 50, $textcolor, $font, $text1); // Write the text with a font

header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); // Its a JPEG
imagejpeg($image,'',90); // Zap it to the browser
imagedestroy($image); // Memory Freeupage

Since this function is not documented, I felt it was best that I shed some light on the extrainfo parameter.

You can see the full documentation at the GD reference manual:
http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.33.html#gdImageStringFTEx

Basically it accepts an array containing the following options as keys and an associated value:
(int) flags [more info in the GD reference manual]
(double/float) linespacing
(int) charmap
(int) hdpi
(int) vdpi
(string) xshow
(string) fontpath

My C/C++ is not very good but this is the best I can explain. Read the documentation for more information. :-)

A very simple example of usage would be:

<?php

imagefttext( $img_pointer, 12, 0, 10, 10, [-insertsomecolour-], '/path/to/font.ttf', "THIS IS A TEST\nTHIS IS LINE 2\nTHIS IS LINE3", array('lineheight'=>2.0) );

?>

Thanks for the script!  I modified it to show several fonts that I was wanting to use.  I am using GD-2.0.7, FreeType-2.1.3(text rotation fix,among others), and PHP-4.2.3 and had to include the array information to get it to work.

Code change follows:
$fontfile="/usr/local/fonts/ttf/bookantbd.ttf";
// Waterfall of point sizes to see what Freetype 2's autohinting looks like:
//
for($i=4;$i<=12;$i++){
  ImageFtText($image,$i,0,10,(280+$i*14),$forecolor,$fontfile, bookantbd . $i . ". " . $string, array("linespacing" => 1.0));
}

I'm not sure if this is a PHP issue or an GD issue, but after upgrading to PHP 5.3.2, text written at an angle has become top-justified (so "N" and "n" have the same top, but the bottom of the "N" is lower than the bottom of the "n".  I've written a kludgy work-around, which writes the text to a non-rotated temporary image, then copies the temporary image, rotated onto the main image.  The kludginess is to get around the fact that I can't seem to extract the font info, particularly the distance between the baseline and the very bottom (I've hard-coded it as 30% of the font size)
I hope the bug can be fixed (if it is indeed a bug) or that others can improve this code:

<?php
    // Function that draws rotated text by creating a temporary image and rotating it, since rotated text appears to be busted
    function imageTextRotated($image, $size, $angle, $x, $y, $inColor, $fontfile, $text, $info=array()) {
//        Force some demo text that contains risers and descenders:
//        $text = "Nlfbacejygq!";

        $bbox = imageftbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, $text, $info);
        $dropdown = $size*0.3;
        $xsize = abs($bbox[2] - $bbox[0]);
        $ysize = abs($bbox[5] - $bbox[3]);
        $tmpImage = imagecreatetruecolor($xsize*1.25, $ysize*1.25);        // need the extra space to accommodate risers and descenders
        $transparent = imagecolorallocate($tmpImage, 255, 255, 154);
        if (!$transparent) {
            error_log("Color allocate failed");
        }
        imagecolortransparent($tmpImage, $transparent);
        if (!imagefill($tmpImage, 0, $ysize, $transparent)) {
            error_log("Fill failed");
        }
        $rgb = imagecolorsforindex($image, $inColor);
        $color = imagecolorexact($tmpImage, $rgb['red'], $rgb['green'], $rgb['blue']);
        if ($color == -1) {
            $color = imagecolorallocate($tmpImage, $rgb['red'], $rgb['green'], $rgb['blue']); 
            if (!$color) {
                error_log("Color allocate 2 failed");
            }
        }

        $newbbox = imagefttext($tmpImage, $size, 0, 0, $ysize*1.0, $color, $fontfile, $text, $info);
        $tmpImage = imagerotate($tmpImage, $angle, $transparent);
        $newWidth = imagesx($tmpImage);
        $newHt = imagesy($tmpImage);
        imagecopymerge($image, $tmpImage, $x-$newWidth+$dropdown, $y-$newHt, 0, 0, $newWidth, $newHt, 100);
        
//        Highlight the desired starting point (baseline) with a green dot:
//        $green = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 251, 0);
//        imagefilledellipse($image, $x, $y, 10, 10, $green);
        imagedestroy($tmpImage);
?>
