Description

int imageellipse ( resource image, int cx, int cy, int w, int h, int color )

imageellipse() draws an ellipse centered at cx, cy (top left is 0, 0) in the image represented by image. W and h specifies the ellipse's width and height respectively. The color of the ellipse is specified by color.

Example 1. imageellipse() example

<?php

// create a blank image
$image = imagecreate(400, 300);

// fill the background color
$bg = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);

// choose a color for the ellipse
$col_ellipse = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

// draw the ellipse
imageellipse($image, 200, 150, 300, 200, $col_ellipse);

// output the picture
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($image);

?>

if you want to display an ellipse in the upper left corner of an image, you can easily calculate the corresponding cx and cy values. this example will draw an ellipse having the same width and height as the image.

<?php

$ellipse_width
= 100;
$ellipse_height = 200;

$ellipse_cx = ($ellipse_width / 2);
$ellipse_cy = ($ellipse_height / 2);

$img_x = $ellipse_width;
$img_y = $ellipse_height;

$img = imagecreate($img_x, $img_y);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($img, 255,255,255);

$ellipse_color = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);

imageellipse($img, $ellipse_cx, $ellipse_cy, $ellipse_width, $ellipse_height, $ellipse_color);

header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);

?>

When you wana use "ImageEllipse" function
in under GD 2.0.2 version, you can use "ImageArc" like bellow

----------------------------------------------------
$file_name = "test.png";

$screen_x = 300;
$screen_y = 200;

$x1 = $screen_x / 2;
$y1 = $screen_y / 2;

$radius = 30;

$image = ImageCreate($screen_x, $screen_y);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0,0,0);

ImageArc($image, $x1, $y1, $radius , $radius , 0, 360, $black);

ImagePng($image, $file_name);
ImageDestroy($image);
----------------------------------------------------
