73 It is possible to draw with graphics primitives onto images. Such
74 primitives include boxes, arcs, circles, polygons and lines. The
75 coordinate system in Imager has the origin C<(0,0)> in the upper left
76 corner of an image with co-ordinates increasing to the right and
77 bottom. For non antialiasing operation all coordinates are rounded
78 towards the nearest integer. For antialiased operations floating
79 point coordinates are used.
81 Drawing is assumed to take place in a coordinate system of infinite
82 resolution. This is the typical convention and really only matters when
83 it is necessary to check for off-by-one cases. Typically it's usefull to
84 think of C<(10, 20)> as C<(10.00, 20.00)> and consider the consiquences.
86 =head2 Color Parameters
88 X<color parameters>The C<color> parameter for any of the drawing
89 methods can be an L<Imager::Color> object, a simple scalar that
90 Imager::Color can understand, a hashref of parameters that
91 Imager::Color->new understands, or an arrayref of red, green, blue
94 $image->box(..., color=>'red');
95 $image->line(..., color=>'#FF0000');
96 $image->flood_fill(..., color=>[ 255, 0, 255 ]);
98 =head2 Fill Parameters
100 X<fill parameters>All filled primitives, i.e. C<arc()>, C<box()>,
101 C<circle()>, C<polygon()> and the C<flood_fill()> method can take a
102 C<fill> parameter instead of a C<color> parameter which can either be
103 an Imager::Fill object, or a reference to a hash containing the
104 parameters used to create the fill, for example:
106 $image->box(..., fill=>{ hatch => 'check1x1' });
107 my $fillimage = Imager->new;
108 $fillimage->read(file=>$somefile) or die;
109 $image->flood_fill(..., fill=>{ image=>$fillimage });
111 Currently you can create opaque or transparent plain color fills,
112 hatched fills, image based fills and fountain fills. See
113 L<Imager::Fill> for more information.
115 =head2 List of primitives
121 $img->line(color=>$green, x1=>10, x2=>100,
122 y1=>20, y2=>50, aa=>1, endp=>1 );
124 X<line method>Draws a line from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2). The endpoint
125 (x2,y2) is drawn by default. If endp of 0 is specified then the
126 endpoint will not be drawn. If C<aa> is set then the line will be
127 drawn antialiased. The I<antialias> parameter is still available for
128 backwards compatibility.
136 x1, y1 - starting point of the line. Required.
140 x2, y2 - end point of the line. Required.
144 color - the color of the line. See L<"Color Parameters">. Default:
149 endp - if zero the end point of the line is not drawn. Default: 1 -
150 the end point is drawn. This is useful to set to 0 when drawning a
151 series of connected lines.
155 aa - if true the line is drawn anti-aliased. Default: 0.
161 $img->polyline(points=>[[$x0,$y0],[$x1,$y1],[$x2,$y2]],color=>$red);
162 $img->polyline(x=>[$x0,$x1,$x2], y=>[$y0,$y1,$y2], aa=>1);
164 X<polyline method>Polyline is used to draw multilple lines between a
165 series of points. The point set can either be specified as an
166 arrayref to an array of array references (where each such array
167 represents a point). The other way is to specify two array
170 The I<antialias> parameter is still available for backwards compatibility.
176 points - a reference to an array of references to arrays containing
177 the co-ordinates of the points in the line, for example:
179 my @points = ( [ 0, 0 ], [ 100, 0 ], [ 100, 100 ], [ 0, 100 ] );
180 $img->polyline(points => \@points);
184 x, y - each is an array of x or y ordinates. This is an alternative
185 to supplying the C<points> parameter.
187 # same as the above points example
188 my @x = ( 0, 100, 100, 0 );
189 my @y = ( 0, 0, 100, 100 );
190 $img->polyline(x => \@x, y => \@y);
194 color - the color of the line. See L<"Color Parameters">. Default:
199 aa - if true the line is drawn anti-aliased. Default: 0. Can also be
200 supplied as C<antialias> for backward compatibility.
206 $blue = Imager::Color->new( 0, 0, 255 );
207 $img->box(color => $blue, xmin=>10, ymin=>30, xmax=>200, ymax=>300,
210 X<box method>If any of the edges of the box are ommited it will snap
211 to the outer edge of the image in that direction. If C<filled> is
212 ommited the box is drawn as an outline. Instead of a color it is
213 possible to use a C<fill> pattern:
215 $fill = Imager::Fill->new(hatch=>'stipple');
216 $img->box(fill=>$fill); # fill entire image with a given fill pattern
218 $img->box(xmin=>10, ymin=>30, xmax=>150, ymax=>60,
219 fill => { hatch=>'cross2' });
221 Also if a color is omitted a color with (255,255,255,255) is used
222 instead. [NOTE: This may change to use C<$img-E<gt>fgcolor()> in the future].
224 Box does not support fractional coordinates yet.
232 xmin - left side of the box. Default: 0 (left edge of the image)
236 ymin - top side of the box. Default: 0 (top edge of the image)
240 xmax - right side of the box. Default: $img->getwidth-1. (right edge
245 ymax - bottom side of the box. Default: $img->getheight-1. (bottom
248 Note: xmax and ymax are I<inclusive> - the number of pixels drawn for
249 a filled box is (xmax-xmin+1) * (ymax-ymin+1).
253 box - a reference to an array of (left, top, right, bottom)
254 co-ordinates. This is an alternative to supplying xmin, ymin, xmax,
255 ymax and overrides their values.
259 color - the color of the line. See L<"Color Parameters">. Default:
260 white. This is ignored if the filled parameter
264 filled - if non-zero the box is filled with I<color> instead of
265 outlined. Default: an outline is drawn.
269 fill - the fill for the box. If this is supplied then the box will be
270 filled. See L<"Fill Parameters">.
276 $img->arc(color=>$red, r=>20, x=>200, y=>100, d1=>10, d2=>20 );
278 This creates a filled red arc with a 'center' at (200, 100) and spans
279 10 degrees and the slice has a radius of 20. [NOTE: arc has a BUG in
280 it right now for large differences in angles.]
281 It's also possible to supply a C<fill> parameter.
289 x, y - center of the filled arc. Default: center of the image.
293 r - radius of the arc. Default: 1/3 of min(image height, image width).
297 d1 - starting angle of the arc, in degrees. Default: 0
301 d2 - ending angle of the arc, in degrees. Default: 361.
305 color - the color of the filled arc. See L<"Color Parameters">.
306 Default: white. Overridden by C<fill>.
310 fill - the fill for the filled arc. See L<"Fill Parameters">
314 aa - if true the filled arc is drawn anti-aliased. Default: false.
316 Anti-aliased arc() is experimental for now, I'm not entirely happy
317 with the results in some cases.
321 # arc going through angle zero:
322 $img->arc(d1=>320, d2=>40, x=>100, y=>100, r=>50, color=>'blue');
325 $img->arc(d1=>135, d2=>45, x=>100, y=>150, r=>50,
326 fill=>{ solid=>'red', combine=>'diff' });
330 $img->circle(color=>$green, r=>50, x=>200, y=>100, aa=>1, filled=>1);
332 This creates an antialiased green circle with its center at (200, 100)
333 and has a radius of 50. It's also possible to supply a C<fill> parameter
334 instead of a color parameter.
336 $img->circle(r => 50, x=> 150, y => 150, fill=>{ hatch => 'stipple' });
338 The circle is always filled but that might change, so always pass a
339 filled=>1 parameter if you want it to be filled.
345 x, y - center of the filled circle. Default: center of the image.
349 r - radius of the circle. Default: 1/3 of min(image height, image width).
353 color - the color of the filled circle. See L<"Color Parameters">.
354 Default: white. Overridden by C<fill>.
358 fill - the fill for the filled circle. See L<"Fill Parameters">
362 aa - if true the filled circle is drawn anti-aliased. Default: false.
368 $img->polygon(points=>[[$x0,$y0],[$x1,$y1],[$x2,$y2]],color=>$red);
369 $img->polygon(x=>[$x0,$x1,$x2], y=>[$y0,$y1,$y2], fill=>$fill);
371 Polygon is used to draw a filled polygon. Currently the polygon is
372 always drawn antialiased, although that will change in the future.
373 Like other antialiased drawing functions its coordinates can be
374 specified with floating point values. As with other filled shapes
375 it's possible to use a C<fill> instead of a color.
381 points - a reference to an array of references to arrays containing
382 the co-ordinates of the points in the line, for example:
384 my @points = ( [ 0, 0 ], [ 100, 0 ], [ 100, 100 ], [ 0, 100 ] );
385 $img->polygon(points => \@points);
389 x, y - each is an array of x or y ordinates. This is an alternative
390 to supplying the C<points> parameter.
392 # same as the above points example
393 my @x = ( 0, 100, 100, 0 );
394 my @y = ( 0, 0, 100, 100 );
395 $img->polygon(x => \@x, y => \@y);
399 color - the color of the filled polygon. See L<"Color Parameters">.
400 Default: black. Overridden by C<fill>.
404 fill - the fill for the filled circle. See L<"Fill Parameters">
410 X<flood_fill>You can fill a region that all has the same color using
411 the flood_fill() method, for example:
413 $img->flood_fill(x=>50, y=>50, color=>$color);
415 will fill all regions the same color connected to the point (50, 50).
417 Alternatively you can fill a region limited by a given border color:
419 # stop at the red border
420 $im->flood_fill(x=>50, y=>50, color=>$color, border=>"red");
422 You can also fill with a complex fill:
424 $img->flood_fill(x=>50, y=>50, fill=>{ hatch=>'cross1x1' });
432 x, y - the start point of the fill.
436 color - the color of the filled area. See L<"Color Parameters">.
437 Default: white. Overridden by C<fill>.
441 fill - the fill for the filled area. See L<"Fill Parameters">
445 border - the border color of the region to be filled. If this
446 parameter is supplied flood_fill() will stop when it finds this color.
447 If this is not supplied then a normal fill is done. C<border> can be
448 supplied as a L<"Color Parameter">.
454 $img->setpixel(x=>50, y=>70, color=>$color);
455 $img->setpixel(x=>[ 50, 60, 70 ], y=>[20, 30, 40], color=>$color);
457 setpixel() is used to set one or more individual pixels.
465 x, y - either integers giving the co-ordinates of the pixel to set or
466 array references containing a set of pixels to be set.
470 color - the color of the pixels drawn. See L<"Color Parameters">.
475 When called with array parameters, returns the number of pixels
476 successfully set, or false if none.
478 When called with scalars for x and y, return $img on success, false on
483 my $color = $img->getpixel(x=>50, y=>70);
484 my @colors = $img->getpixel(x=>[ 50, 60, 70 ], y=>[20, 30, 40]);
485 my $colors_ref = $img->getpixel(x=>[ 50, 60, 70 ], y=>[20, 30, 40]);
487 getpixel() is used to retrieve one or more individual pixels.
489 For either method you can supply a single set of co-ordinates as
490 scalar x and y parameters, or set each to an arrayref of ordinates.
492 When called with arrays, getpixel() will return a list of colors in
493 list context, and an arrayref in scalar context.
495 To receive floating point colors from getpixel, set the C<type>
496 parameter to 'float'.
504 x, y - either integers giving the co-ordinates of the pixel to set or
505 array references containing a set of pixels to be set.
509 type - the type of color object to return, either C<'8bit'> for
510 Imager::Color objects or C<'float'> for Imager::Color::Float objects.
517 my $font = Imager::Font->new(file=>"foo.ttf");
518 $img->string(x => 50, y => 70,
519 string => "Hello, World!",
525 Draws text on the image.
533 x, y - the point to draw the text from. If C<align> is 0 this is the
534 top left of the string. If C<align> is 1 (the default) then this is
535 the left of the string on the baseline. Required.
539 string - the text to draw. Required unless you supply the C<text>
544 font - an L<Imager::Font> object representing the font to draw the
549 aa - if non-zero the output will be anti-aliased. Default: the value
550 set in Imager::Font->new() or 0 if not set.
554 align - if non-zero the point supplied in (x,y) will be on the
555 base-line, if zero then (x,y) will be at the top-left of the string.
557 ie. if drawing the string "yA" and align is 0 the point (x,y) will
558 aligned with the top of the A. If align is 1 (the default) it will be
559 aligned with the baseline of the font, typically bottom of the A,
560 depending on the font used.
562 Default: the value set in Imager::Font->new, or 1 if not set.
566 channel - if present, the text will be written to the specified
567 channel of the image and the color parameter will be ignore.
571 color - the color to draw the text in. Default: the color supplied to
572 Imager::Font->new, or red if none.
576 size - the point size to draw the text at. Default: the size supplied
577 to Imager::Font->new, or 15.
581 sizew - the width scaling to draw the text at. Default: the value of
586 utf8 - for drivers that support it, treat the string as UTF8 encoded.
587 For versions of perl that support Unicode (5.6 and later), this will
588 be enabled automatically if the C<string> parameter is already a UTF8
589 string. See L<Imager::Font/"UTF8"> for more information.
593 vlayout - for drivers that support it, draw the text vertically.
594 Note: I haven't found a font that has the appropriate metrics yet.
598 text - alias for the C<string> parameter.
602 On error, string() returns false and you can use $img->errstr to get
603 the reason for the error.
607 Draws text aligned around a point on the image.
609 # "Hello" centered at 100, 100 in the image.
610 my ($left, $top, $right, $bottom) =
611 $img->align_string(string=>"Hello",
613 halign=>'center', valign=>'center',
622 x, y - the point to draw the text from. If C<align> is 0 this is the
623 top left of the string. If C<align> is 1 (the default) then this is
624 the left of the string on the baseline. Required.
628 string - the text to draw. Required unless you supply the C<text> parameter.
632 font - an L<Imager::Font> object representing the font to draw the
637 aa - if non-zero the output will be anti-aliased
641 valign - vertical alignment of the text against (x,y)
647 top - Point is at the top of the text.
651 bottom - Point is at the bottom of the text.
655 baseline - Point is on the baseline of the text. This is the default.
659 center - Point is vertically centered within the text.
665 halign - horizontal alignment of the text against (x,y)
671 left - The point is at the left of the text. This is the default.
675 start - The point is at the start point of the text.
679 center - The point is horizontally centered within the text.
683 right - The point is at the right end of the text.
687 end - The point is at the end point of the text.
693 channel - if present, the text will be written to the specified
694 channel of the image and the color parameter will be ignore.
698 color - the color to draw the text in. Default: the color supplied to
699 Imager::Font->new, or red if none.
703 size - the point size to draw the text at. Default: the size supplied
704 to Imager::Font->new, or 15.
708 sizew - the width scaling to draw the text at. Default: the value of
713 utf8 - for drivers that support it, treat the string as UTF8 encoded.
714 For versions of perl that support Unicode (5.6 and later), this will
715 be enabled automatically if the C<string> parameter is already a UTF8
716 string. See L<Imager::Font/"UTF8"> for more information.
720 vlayout - for drivers that support it, draw the text vertically.
721 Note: I haven't found a font that has the appropriate metrics yet.
725 text - alias for the C<string> parameter.
729 On success returns a list of bounds of the drawn text, in the order
730 left, top, right, bottom.
732 On error, align_string() returns an empty list and you can use
733 $img->errstr to get the reason for the error.
737 Set all or part of a horizontal line of pixels to an image. This
738 method is most useful in conjuction with L</getscanline>.
740 The parameters you can pass are:
746 y - vertical position of the scanline. This parameter is required.
750 x - position to start on the scanline. Default: 0
754 pixels - either a reference to an array containing Imager::Color
755 objects, an reference to an array containing Imager::Color::Float
756 objects or a scalar containing packed color data.
758 If C<type> is C<index> then this can either be a reference to an array
759 of palette color indexes or a scalar containing packed indexes.
761 See L</"Packed Color Data"> for information on the format of packed
766 type - the type of pixel data supplied. If you supply an array
767 reference of object then this is determined automatically. If you
768 supply packed color data this defaults to '8bit', if your data is
769 packed floating point color data then set this to 'float'.
771 You can use float or 8bit samples with any image.
773 If this is 'index' then pixels should be either an array of palette
774 color indexes or a packed string of color indexes.
778 Returns the number of pixels set.
780 Each of the following sets 5 pixels from (5, 10) through (9, 10) to
781 blue, red, blue, red, blue:
783 my $red_color = Imager::Color->new(255, 0, 0);
784 my $blue_color = Imager::Color->new(0, 0, 255);
786 $image->setscanline(y=>10, x=>5, pixels=>
787 [ ($blue_color, $red_color) x 2, $blue_color ]);
789 # use floating point color instead, for 16-bit plus images
790 my $red_colorf = Imager::Color::Float->new(1.0, 0, 0);
791 my $blue_colorf = Imager::Color::Float->new(0, 0, 1.0);
793 $image->setscanline(y=>10, x=>5, pixels=>
794 [ ($blue_colorf, $red_colorf) x 2, $blue_colorf ]);
797 $image->setscanline(y=>10, x=>5, pixels=>
798 pack("C*", ((0, 0, 255, 255), (255, 0, 0, 255)) x 2,
801 # packed floating point samples
802 $image->setscanline(y=>10, x=>5, type=>'float', pixels=>
803 pack("d*", ((0, 0, 1.0, 1.0), (1.0, 0, 0, 1.0)) x 2,
807 Copy even rows from one image to another:
809 for (my $y = 0; $y < $im2->getheight; $y+=2) {
810 $im1->setscanline(y=>$y,
811 pixels=>scalar($im2->getscanline(y=>$y)));
815 Set the blue channel to 0 for all pixels in an image. This could be
816 done with convert too:
818 for my $y (0..$im->getheight-1) {
819 my $row = $im->getscanline(y=>$y);
820 $row =~ s/(..).(.)/$1\0$2/gs;
821 $im->setscanline(y=>$y, pixels=>$row);
826 Read all or part of a horizontal line of pixels from an image. This
827 method is most useful in conjunction with L</setscanline>.
829 The parameters you can pass are:
835 y - vertical position of the scanline. This parameter is required.
839 x - position to start on the scanline. Default: 0
843 width - number of pixels to read. Default: $img->getwidth - x
847 type - the type of pixel data to return. Default: C<8bit>.
849 Permited values are C<8bit> and C<float> and C<index>.
853 In list context this method will return a list of Imager::Color
854 objects when I<type> is C<8bit>, or a list of Imager::Color::Float
855 objects when I<type> if C<float>, or a list of integers when I<type>
858 In scalar context this returns a packed 8-bit pixels when I<type> is
859 C<8bit>, or a list of packed floating point pixels when I<type> is
860 C<float>, or packed palette color indexes when I<type> is C<index>.
862 The values of samples for which the image does not have channels is
863 undefined. For example, for a single channel image the values of
864 channels 1 through 3 are undefined.
866 Check image for a given color:
869 YLOOP: for my $y (0..$img->getheight-1) {
870 my @colors = $img->getscanline(y=>$y);
871 for my $color (@colors) {
872 my ($red, $green, $blue, $alpha) = $color->rgba;
873 if ($red == $test_red && $green == $test_green && $blue == $test_blue
874 && $alpha == $test_alpha) {
881 Or do it using packed data:
884 my $test_packed = pack("CCCC", $test_red, $test_green, $test_blue,
886 YLOOP: for my $y (0..$img->getheight-1) {
887 my $colors = $img->getscanline(y=>$y);
888 while (length $colors) {

900 Read specified channels from all or part of a horizontal line of
901 pixels from an image.
903 The parameters you can pass are:
909 y - vertical position of the scanline. This parameter is required.
913 x - position to start on the scanline. Default: 0
917 width - number of pixels to read. Default: $img->getwidth - x
921 type - the type of sample data to return. Default: C<8bit>.
923 Permited values are C<8bit> and C<float>.
925 As of Imager 0.61 this can be C<16bit> only for 16 bit images.
929 channels - a reference to an array of channels to return, where 0 is
930 the first channel. Default: C< [ 0 .. $self->getchannels()-1 ] >
934 target - if an array reference is supplied in target then the samples
935 will be stored here instead of being returned.
939 offset - the offset within the array referenced by I<target>
943 In list context this will return a list of integers between 0 and 255
944 inclusive when I<type> is C<8bit>, or a list of floating point numbers
945 between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive when I<type> is C<float>.
947 In scalar context this will return a string of packed bytes, as with
948 C< pack("C*", ...) > when I<type> is C<8bit> or a string of packed
949 doubles as with C< pack("d*", ...) > when I<type> is C<float>.
951 If the I<target> option is supplied then only a count of samples is
954 Example: Check if any pixels in an image have a non-zero alpha
958 for my $y (0 .. $img->getheight()-1) {
959 my $alpha = $img->getsamples(y=>$y, channels=>[0]);
960 if ($alpha =~ /[^\0]/) {
966 Example: Convert a 2 channel grey image into a 4 channel RGBA image:
968 # this could be done with convert() instead
969 my $out = Imager->new(xsize => $src->getwidth(),
970 ysize => $src->getheight(),
972 for my $y ( 0 .. $src->getheight()-1 ) {
973 my $data = $src->getsamples(y=>$y, channels=>[ 0, 0, 0, 1 ]);
974 $out->setscanline(y=>$y, pixels=>$data);
977 Retrieve 16-bit samples:
979 if ($img->bits == 16) {
981 $img->getsamples(x => 0, y => $y, target => \@samples, type => '16bit');
986 This allows writing of samples back to some images. Currently this is
987 only supported for 16-bit/sample images.
995 y - vertical position of the scanline. This parameter is required.
999 x - position to start on the scanline. Default: 0
1003 width - number of pixels to write. Default: $img->getwidth - x. The
1004 minimum of this and the number of pixels represented by the samples
1005 provided will be written.
1009 type - the type of sample data to write. This parameter is required.
1011 As of Imager 0.61 this can only be C<16bit> only for 16 bit images.
1015 channels - a reference to an array of channels to return, where 0 is
1016 the first channel. Default: C< [ 0 .. $self->getchannels()-1 ] >
1020 data - a reference to an array of samples to write. Required.
1024 offset - the starting offset within the array referenced by I<data>
1028 Returns the number of samples written.
1032 =head1 Packed Color Data
1034 The getscanline() and setscanline() functions can work with pixels
1035 packed into scalars. This is useful to remove the cost of creating
1036 color objects, but should only be used when performance is an issue.
1038 Packed data can either be 1 byte per sample or 1 double per sample.
1040 Each pixel returned by getscanline() or supplied to setscanline()
1041 contains 4 samples, even if the image has fewer then 4 channels. The
1042 values of the extra samples as returned by getscanline() is not
1043 specified. The extra samples passed to setscanline() are ignored.
1045 To produce packed 1 byte/sample pixels, use the pack C<C> template:
1047 my $packed_8bit_pixel = pack("CCCC", $red, $blue, $green, $alpha);
1049 To produce packed double/sample pixels, use the pack C<d> template:
1051 my $packed_float_pixel = pack("dddd", $red, $blue, $green, $alpha);
1053 If you use a I<type> parameter of C<index> then the values are palette
1054 color indexes, not sample values:
1056 my $im = Imager->new(xsize => 100, ysize => 100, type => 'paletted');
1057 my $black_index = $im->addcolors(colors => [ 'black' ]);
1058 my $red_index = $im->addcolors(colors => [ 'red' ]);
1060 my $packed_index_data = pack("C*", $black_index, $red_index);
1061 $im->setscanline(y => $y, pixels => $packed_index_data, type => 'index');
1063 =head1 Combine Types
1065 Some methods accept a C<combine> parameter, this can be any of the
1072 The fill pixel replaces the target pixel.
1076 The fill pixels alpha value is used to combine it with the target pixel.
1082 Each channel of fill and target is multiplied, and the result is
1083 combined using the alpha channel of the fill pixel.
1087 If the alpha of the fill pixel is greater than a random number, the
1088 fill pixel is alpha combined with the target pixel.
1092 The channels of the fill and target are added together, clamped to the range of the samples and alpha combined with the target.
1096 The channels of the fill are subtracted from the target, clamped to be
1097 >= 0, and alpha combined with the target.
1101 The channels of the fill are subtracted from the target and the
1102 absolute value taken this is alpha combined with the target.
1106 The higher value is taken from each channel of the fill and target
1107 pixels, which is then alpha combined with the target.
1111 The higher value is taken from each channel of the fill and target
1112 pixels, which is then alpha combined with the target.
1116 The combination of the saturation and value of the target is combined
1117 with the hue of the fill pixel, and is then alpha combined with the
1122 The combination of the hue and value of the target is combined
1123 with the saturation of the fill pixel, and is then alpha combined with the
1128 The combination of the hue and value of the target is combined
1129 with the value of the fill pixel, and is then alpha combined with the
1134 The combination of the value of the target is combined with the hue
1135 and saturation of the fill pixel, and is then alpha combined with the
1144 Returns a list of possible combine types.
