imageresolution

Get or set the resolution of the image

Description

mixed imageresolution ( resource $image [, int $res_x [, int $res_y ]] )

imageresolution allows to set and get the resolution of an image in DPI (dots per inch). If none of the optional parameters is given, the current resolution is returned as indexed array. If only res_x is given, the horizontal and vertical resolution are set to this value. If both optional parameters are given, the horizontal and vertical resolution are set to these values, respectively.

The resolution is only used as meta information when images are read from and written to formats supporting this kind of information (curently PNG and JPEG). It does not affect any drawing operations. The default resolution for new images is 96 DPI.

Parameters

image: An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor.
res_x: The horizontal resolution in DPI.
res_y: The vertical resolution in DPI.

Return Values

When used as getter (that is without the optional parameters), it returns TRUE on success, or FALSE on failure. When used as setter (that is with one or both optional parameters given), it returns an indexed array of the horizontal and vertical resolution on success, or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example #1 Setting and getting the resolution of an image


<?php
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);
imageresolution($im, 200);
print_r(imageresolution($im));
imageresolution($im, 300, 72);
print_r(imageresolution($im));
?>

The above example will output:

Array
(
    [0] => 200
    [1] => 200
)
Array
(
    [0] => 300
    [1] => 72
)
