Image Generator
===============

[](#image-generator)

This package is intended to be used for quickly generating placeholder images with a specific size, color and text.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.0 or higher
- GD extension

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Make sure you require this package in your composer.json:

```
composer require nicoverbruggen/image-generator

```

See [the example source file](examples/saved.php) that is used to generate and save the sample images. You can generate the following examples:

[![The barebones example](doc/examples/barebones.png)](doc/examples/barebones.png)[![A multiline example](doc/examples/multiline.png)](doc/examples/multiline.png)[![An avatar](doc/examples/avatar.png)](doc/examples/avatar.png)

Please note that for testing purposes, I used Roboto Black as the TrueType font. (This font is not included in this repository.)

You can also check out [the other source file](examples/direct.php). You can point your browser directly at this file (assuming you're running a PHP server, of course) and it will directly return a file since the path is set to `null`.

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

If you do not supply a TrueType font path:

- you will be limited in font size options (1 through 5)
- you will not be able to render multiline text

Contributions
-------------

[](#contributions)

I am not planning to expand the features of this package at this time. If you've made an improvement or fixed something, you are free to send me a pull request.
