Distort an image and display to the browser.
<?php
/* Create new object */
$im = new Imagick();
/* Create new checkerboard pattern */
$im->newPseudoImage(100, 100, "pattern:checkerboard");
/* Set the image format to png */
$im->setImageFormat('png');
/* Fill new visible areas with transparent */
$im->setImageVirtualPixelMethod(Imagick::VIRTUALPIXELMETHOD_TRANSPARENT);
/* Activate matte */
$im->setImageMatte(true);
/* Control points for the distortion */
$controlPoints = array( 10, 10,
10, 5,
10, $im->getImageHeight() - 20,
10, $im->getImageHeight() - 5,
$im->getImageWidth() - 10, 10,
$im->getImageWidth() - 10, 20,
$im->getImageWidth() - 10, $im->getImageHeight() - 10,
$im->getImageWidth() - 10, $im->getImageHeight() - 30);
/* Perform the distortion */
$im->distortImage(Imagick::DISTORTION_PERSPECTIVE, $controlPoints, true);
/* Ouput the image */
header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo $im;
