imagescale

Scale an image using the given new width and height

Description

GdImagefalse imagescale(
    GdImage $image,
    int $width,
    int $height = -1,
    int $mode = IMG_BILINEAR_FIXED
)

imagescale scales an image using the given interpolation algorithm.

Note:

Unlike many of other image functions, imagescale does not modify the passed image; instead, a new image is returned.

Parameters

image

A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor.

mode

Note: IMG_WEIGHTED4 is not yet supported.

Return Values

Return the scaled image object on success or false on failure.

Errors/Exceptions
