This method is available if Imagick has been compiled against ImageMagick version 6.4.9 or newer.

Parameters

function

Refer to this list of function constants

arguments

Array of arguments to pass to this function.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success.

Errors/Exceptions

Throws ImagickException on error.

Examples

Example #1 Create a sinusoidal gradient

<?php
$imagick 
= new Imagick();
$imagick->newPseudoImage(200200'gradient:black-white');
$arguments = array(3, -90);
$imagick->functionImage(Imagick::FUNCTION_SINUSOID$arguments);

header("Content-Type: image/png");
$imagick->setImageFormat("png");
echo 
$imagick->getImageBlob();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Output of create a sinusoidal gradient

Example #2 Create a gradient from the polynomial (4x^2 - 4x + 1)

<?php
$imagick 
= new Imagick();
$imagick->newPseudoImage(200200'gradient:black-white');
$arguments = array(4, -41);
$imagick->functionImage(Imagick::FUNCTION_POLYNOMIAL$arguments);

header("Content-Type: image/png");
$imagick->setimageformat("png");
echo 
$imagick->getImageBlob();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Output of create a polynomial gradient

Example #3 Create a complex gradient from the polynomial (4x^2 - 4x^2 + 1) modulated by a sinusoidal gradient

<?php
$imagick1 
= new Imagick();
$imagick1->newPseudoImage(200200'gradient:black-white');
$arguments = array(9, -90);
$imagick1->functionImage(Imagick::FUNCTION_SINUSOID$arguments);

$imagick2 = new Imagick();
$imagick2->newPseudoImage(200200'gradient:black-white');
$arguments = array(0.50);
$imagick2->functionImage(Imagick::FUNCTION_SINUSOID$arguments);
$imagick1->compositeimage($imagick2Imagick::COMPOSITE_MULTIPLY00);

header("Content-Type: image/png");
$imagick1->setImageFormat("png");
echo 
$imagick1->getImageBlob();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Output of create complex gradient
