imagecolorset

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

imagecolorset — Set the color for the specified palette index

Description

imagecolorset(
    GdImage $image,
    int $color,
    int $red,
    int $green,
    int $blue,
    int $alpha = 0
): ?false

This sets the specified index in the palette to the specified color. This is useful for creating flood-fill-like effects in palleted images without the overhead of performing the actual flood-fill.

Parameters

image: A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
color: An index in the palette.
red: Value of red component.
green: Value of green component.
blue: Value of blue component.
alpha: Value of alpha component.

Return Values

The function returns null on success, or false on failure.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	`image` expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid `gd` resource was expected.
