Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You may install library through composer:

```
composer require sokil/php-image

```

Open image
----------

[](#open-image)

Create instance of image:

```
$image = new \Sokil\Image\Image($pathToImage);
```

Factory incapsulates instantiating of all image objects and allow to confirure created images:

```
$factory = new \Sokil\Image\Factory;
```

Opening from filename:

```
$factory->openImage('/path/to/image.jpeg');
```

Opening from GD resource:

```
$factory->openImage($imageResource);
```

Creating new image:

```
$image = $factory->createImage(300, 200);

```

Resize image
------------

[](#resize-image)

There is four resize modes: 'scale', 'fit', 'crop' and 'cache'.

```
$newImage = $factory->resizeImage($image, $mode, $width, $height);
```

If you want to register own resize strategy, extend class from \\Sokil\\Image\\AbstractResizeStrategy and add namespase:

```
// through factory constructor
$factory = new \Sokil\Image\Factory([
    'namespace' => [
        'resize' => '\Vendor\ResizeStrategy',
    ],
]);
// through factory method
$factory->addResizeStrategyNamespace('\Vendor\ResizeStrategy');
// directly to image
$image->addResizeStrategyNamespace('\Vendor\ResizeStrategy');
```

Classes searches in priority of adding.

Crop image
----------

[](#crop-image)

To get part of image by specified wifth and height and in defined coordinates use:

```
$x = 10;
$y = 10;
$width = 20;
$height = 20;

$image->crop($x, $y, $width, $height);
```

Rotate image
------------

[](#rotate-image)

Rotating is counter clockwise;

Rotate on 90 degrees:

```
$image->rotate(90);
```

Rotate on 45 degrees, and fill empty field with black color:

```
$image->rotate(45, '#000000');
```

Rotate on 45 degrees, and fill empty field with transparent green color:

```
$image->rotate(45, '#8000FF00');
```

Flip image
----------

[](#flip-image)

Flip in vertical direction:

```
$image->flipVertical();
```

Flip in horisontal direction

```
$image->flipHorisontal();
```

Flip in both directions

```
$image->flipBoth();
```

Filters
-------

[](#filters)

Greyscale image:

```
$factory->filterImage($image, 'greyscale');
```

If you want to register own filter strategy to support new filters, extend class from \\Sokil\\Image\\AbstractFilterStrategy and add namespase:

```
// through factory constructor
$factory = new \Sokil\Image\Factory([
    'namespace' => [
        'filter' => '\Vendor\FilterStrategy',
    ],
]);
// through factory method
$factory->addFilterStrategyNamespace('\Vendor\FilterStrategy');
// or directly to image
$image->addFilterStrategyNamespace('\Vendor\FilterStrategy');
```

Image elements
--------------

[](#image-elements)

### Adding elements to image

[](#adding-elements-to-image)

Element is everything that can me append to image: text, shape, other image. First we need to create element instabce and configure it:

```
$someElement = $factory->createElement('someElement')->setParam1('someValue');
```

Than element placed to image to some coordinates:

```
$image->appendElementAtPosition($someElement, 30, 30);
```

You can create your own elements that inherits \\Sokil\\Image\\AbstractElement class, and register namespace:

```
namespace Vendor\Elements;

class Circle extends \Sokil\Image\AbstractElement
{
    public function setRadius($r) { // code to set radius }

    public function draw($resource, $x, $y)
    {
        // code to draw circle on image $resouce at coordinates ($x, $y)
    }
}

// through factory constructor
$factory = new \Sokil\Image\Factory([
    'namespace' => [
        'element' => '\Vendor\Element',
    ],
]);
// through factory method
$factory->addElementNamespace('\Vendor\Elements');
```

Now you can draw your own circles:

```
$circle = $factory->createElement('circle')->setRadiud(100);
$image->appendElementAtPosition($circle, 100, 100);
```

### Writing text

[](#writing-text)

To create text element you can use one of methods:

```
$textElement = $factory->createElement('text');
// or through helper
$textElement = $factory->createTextElement();
```

First we need to configure text element:

```
$factory = new \Sokil\Image\Factory();

// text element
$element = $factory
    ->createTextElement()
    ->setText('hello world')
    ->setAngle(20)
    ->setSize(40)
    ->setColor('#ababab')
    ->setFont(__DIR__ . '/FreeSerif.ttf');
```

Now we need to place element in image at some coordinates:

```
$image->appendElementAtPosition($element, 50, 150);
```

Save image
----------

[](#save-image)

Library supports three formats of image: 'jpeg', 'png' and 'gif'.

To write image to disk you must define format of image and configure write strategy:

```
$factory->writeImage($image, 'jpeg', function(\Sokil\Image\WriteStrategy\JpegWriteStrategy $strategy) {
    $strategy->setQuality(98)->toFile('/path/to/file.jpg');
});
```

To send image to STDOUT you must define format of image and configure write strategy:

```
$factory->writeImage($image, 'jpeg', function(\Sokil\Image\WriteStrategy\JpegWriteStrategy $strategy) {
    $strategy->setQuality(98)->toStdout();
});
```

If you want to register own write strategy to support new image format, extend class from \\Sokil\\Image\\AbstractWriteStrategy and add namespase:

```
// through factory constructor
$factory = new \Sokil\Image\Factory([
    'namespace' => [
        'write' => '\Vendor\WriteStrategy',
    ],
]);
// through factory method
$factory->addWriteStrategyNamespace('\Vendor\WriteStrategy');
// or directly to image
$image->addWriteStrategyNamespace('\Vendor\WriteStrategy');
```
