imagecolorclosestalpha — Get the index of the closest color to the specified color + alpha
Returns the index of the color in the palette of the image which
is "closest" to the specified RGB value and
alpha level.
imageA GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
redValue of red component.
greenValue of green component.
blueValue of blue component.
alpha
A value between 0 and 127.
0 indicates completely opaque while
127 indicates completely transparent.
Returns the index of the closest color in the palette.
Example #1 Search for a set of colors in an image
<?php
// Start with an image and convert it to a palette-based image
$im = imagecreatefrompng('figures/imagecolorclosest.png');
imagetruecolortopalette($im, false, 255);
// Search colors (RGB)
$colors = array(
array(254, 145, 154, 50),
array(153, 145, 188, 127),
array(153, 90, 145, 0),
array(255, 137, 92, 84)
);
// Loop through each search and find the closest color in the palette.
// Return the search number, the search RGB and the converted RGB match
foreach($colors as $id => $rgb)
{
$result = imagecolorclosestalpha($im, $rgb[0], $rgb[1], $rgb[2], $rgb[3]);
$result = imagecolorsforindex($im, $result);
$result = "({$result['red']}, {$result['green']}, {$result['blue']}, {$result['alpha']})";
echo "#$id: Search ($rgb[0], $rgb[1], $rgb[2], $rgb[3]); Closest match: $result.\n";
}
imagedestroy($im);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
#0: Search (254, 145, 154, 50); Closest match: (252, 150, 148, 0). #1: Search (153, 145, 188, 127); Closest match: (148, 150, 196, 0). #2: Search (153, 90, 145, 0); Closest match: (148, 90, 156, 0). #3: Search (255, 137, 92, 84); Closest match: (252, 150, 92, 0).
