PHP Manual: imagesetinterpolation

Description

function imagesetinterpolation(GdImage $image, int $method = IMG_BILINEAR_FIXED): bool

Sets the interpolation method, setting an interpolation method affects the rendering of various functions in GD, such as the imagerotate() function.

Parameters

image

A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().

method

The interpolation method, which can be one of the following:

IMG_BELL: Bell filter.
IMG_BESSEL: Bessel filter.
IMG_BICUBIC: Bicubic interpolation.
IMG_BICUBIC_FIXED: Fixed point implementation of the bicubic interpolation.
IMG_BILINEAR_FIXED: Fixed point implementation of the bilinear interpolation (default (also on image creation)).
IMG_BLACKMAN: Blackman window function.
IMG_BOX: Box blur filter.
IMG_BSPLINE: Spline interpolation.
IMG_CATMULLROM: Cubic Hermite spline interpolation.
IMG_GAUSSIAN: Gaussian function.
IMG_GENERALIZED_CUBIC: Generalized cubic spline fractal interpolation.
IMG_HERMITE: Hermite interpolation.
IMG_HAMMING: Hamming filter.
IMG_HANNING: Hanning filter.
IMG_MITCHELL: Mitchell filter.
IMG_POWER: Power interpolation.
IMG_QUADRATIC: Inverse quadratic interpolation.
IMG_SINC: Sinc function.
IMG_NEAREST_NEIGHBOUR: Nearest neighbour interpolation.
IMG_WEIGHTED4: Weighting filter.
IMG_TRIANGLE: Triangle interpolation.

Return Values

Returns true 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.

Examples

Example #1 imagesetinterpolation() example

<?php
// Load an image
$im = imagecreate(500, 500);

// By default interpolation is IMG_BILINEAR_FIXED, switch 
// to use the 'Mitchell' filter:
imagesetinterpolation($im, IMG_MITCHELL);

// Continue to work with $im ...
?>

Notes

Changing the interpolation method affects the following functions when rendering:
