Draw a filled polygon

Description

Signature as of PHP 8.0.0 (not supported with named arguments)

bool imagefilledpolygon(GdImage $image, array $points, int $color)

Alternative signature (deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0)

bool imagefilledpolygon(
    GdImage $image,
    array $points,
    int $num_points,
    int $color
)

imagefilledpolygon creates a filled 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 x and y coordinates of the polygons vertices consecutively.

num_points

Total number of points (vertices), which must be at least 3.

If this parameter is omitted as per the second signature, points must have an even number of elements, and num_points is assumed to be count($points)/2.
color

A color identifier created with imagecolorallocate.

Return Values

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 imagefilledpolygon example

<?php
// set up array of points for polygon
$values = array(
            40,  50,  // Point 1 (x, y)
            20,  240, // Point 2 (x, y)
            60,  60,  // Point 3 (x, y)
            240, 20,  // Point 4 (x, y)
            50,  40,  // Point 5 (x, y)
            10,  10   // Point 6 (x, y)
            );

// create image
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(250, 250);

// allocate colors
$bg   = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 255);

// fill the background
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, 249, 249, $bg);

// draw a polygon
imagefilledpolygon($image, $values, 6, $blue);

// flush image
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:
